I just bought a North Face Mountain 25 tent (360) and a Bibler Bivy (210). Spending money is easy but working sucks.

Plane ticket and a lot of top ramen.

For the record, while some may be considering this a joke ... he's serious.

How I'd spend $500 ...

Option 1: Climbing Stuff
Option 2: Pay off credit cards used to purchase climbing gear
Option 3: hookers and blow.

Two chicks at the same time... :lol:

Chicks dig dudes with money. I bet a guy like you could hook that up with a million bucks too. Well, the kind of chicks that would double up on a guy like you...

Oh wait, it's only $500. You're screwed.

How's this? From an email I just sent out to the folks going to J-Tree with me:

-Flight should be about $300
-We can rent two cars (cheaper than one SUV or van) for $320 for the week. Divided 5 ways that's $64 per person. If we end up with only 3 or 4 people, we'll drop to one car and it will actually be cheaper.
-Camping should be cheap or free. Worst case scenario it will cost us each $16 for the whole trip
-Food. Totally depends on how you want to do it. If we cook it all ourselves it'll cost less than you spend on food at home. We'll probably want to eat at restaurants from time to time though.
-Total cost should be right around $500 per person
