Annual Rumney Gathering III Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

For the past two years, I've hosted a Columbus Day Weekend Rumney gathering for any/all who care to join me. Twice consecutively makes it a tradition, and who am I to kill the tradition?

My family has a camp on the water in Ashland, New Hampshire, around 25 minutes from the Rumney parking lot. There's room for quite a few people to sleep inside and a yard for tents. As long as it doesn't get too outrageous, I can offer everyone a place to sleep. There's typically food on the stove, beer in the fridge and people around the campfire. Good times are had.

Columbus Day falls on Monday, October 11th this year. I'd like to once again to a 4-day ordeal, from Friday the 8th to Monday the 11th. It's a few months off but I figured now would be a good time to see how many express interest.

New Hampshire is beautiful in mid-October (peak foliage) and the temps are generally pretty good for climbing.

Whaddaya think?

Is this traditionally (no pun intended) a sportclimbing and/or bouldering gathering?

let me rephrase :)

since i'll likely fly in solo (where would you recommend flying into? boston?) and would like to meet and climb with people, what's the majority likely to do?

better to haul along a crashpad, or rope + draws, onto the plane?

Fly into Manchester, NH; it's only about 45 min - 1 hour away.

Bring draws and rope. Let the locals bring the oversized pads; we will all be more than happy to share, and we don't bite (well maybe Jake).

Are the rest of us who made fun of Jake still welcome? My sport weenie habit has gone completely unfulfilled for a whole year and I'm PRETTY sure I've got a lead better than "Clippety - who- cares" in me. 8^)

Can we make fun of him that actual weekend? :twisted: :twisted:

I know Juliana is a nice person and sparkling company and champ of the chair and dock problems, but have you SEEN that "Jules" chick? She scares me. :shock:

I don't suppose anyone noticed but I've made an effort to number each differently... the first one was "First," the second was "2.0" and this one is "III."

This very well might be the last October I spend in New Hampshire so we gotta do this right.

As this will be my first autumn in the northeast (moving to nyc for school) I would love to attend. Rumney looks absolutely stellar.

I noticed this was different than last, wasn't climbing or online for the first so I'll take your word for it.

How would you do 4 if you did?

I was there last year, and said I wouldn't miss another ... and I meant it. I'm in.

Hopefully I'll be able to be there on Monday this time - but not sure. I'm starting a new job late in September, so it'll depend on whether Monday is a holiday for the firm (unlikely).

there's always 0x0000004 (though, hexadecimal is uninteresting until the letters show up) or 2^2

...i don't think HTML generally supports the Asian character set

so that means, yes, I'm interested.

It's nice to be able to see gatherings posted this far in advance. This allows people who do not live close by to make the plans, and believe me, it'll be worth it!
