Two friends and I are going to HP 40 over Thanksgiving Break. I've never been there, not even Alabama for that matter. What kind of weather, temperature wise should or could i expect? Thanks.

Go to the Southeastern Climbers Coalition website. They have a section on HP40 plus a Boulderer's Forum on the Message Board. Amazing bouldering, the second leg of the Triple Crown Bouldering Series to be held there this coming Saturday 11/6 - I'll be there workin' it, baybay! Ask on www.seclimbers.org and you shall receive!
Peace, G

Yeah, BUT!!! Chris Sharma and Lisa Rands are registered competitors at HP40 this weekend. Spectator fee is $20 (includes t-shirt, meal ticket, camping Saturday night), competitor enrollment still open. Come on out and watch poetry in motion!

It really depends. Southeastern weather is insane. You could be bouldering in t-shirts and sleeping under the stars, or you could end up sporting your fleece and your beanies and huddling in a tent in 20 degree temps. I've done both there, and at approximately the same times of year. Whatever the temps, you'll have mad crazy fun.

Well, considering it's at minimum a 6 hour drive to HP 40 and b/c we're having our last homegame against Arkansas that weekend, i'm not going to drive there to just watch people climb. That'd be more torture than fun. I actually hope that it's going to be cold though, I'm getting pretty tired of it still being 85 and muggy.

I'm not the type to throw myself at anyone. Too old for that. But getting sloshed... one is never too old.
I live in Decatur near Emory University and the Decatur Square.
Yes, show up. It's gonna be a gorgeous day.
