I should of figured! It'll be good to see everyone again. Colleen and Jim are still there, and the way the market is going, they may be there for a very long time ...

Well my friend, it is a small gathering that we have in New Hampshire at the beginning of the summer, even though it started as an October gathering (we turned to whimps because of the cold). It is held near Rumney, as to the true beginnings of the event, but we are also close enough to make it to Cannon, Whitehorse and Cathedral Ledge, plus all the hidden jems along the Kank. We get about 25 or more climbers, some from the South East, but more from New England. You are more then welcome to join us if you wish.
There is no date set, just throwing the idea out to see if we should have it again this year.

There is another, the last one I did with you that day (can't remember the name or location), but it was a slanting right route that I just could not send. Can you remember what it was called? We sat and encouraged all the young climbers on the overhangs.

Peer Pressure 10d kickass route.. you should be able to finish that on a fresh day.. too bad Social is a PITA to top rope or i'd tell you to go play on that.. i think the first move is the hardest and the rest is just pump factor

Peer Pressure is going down! A warm up, then it'll be all mine ... if I ever get back in shape! I should hit the gym before the season starts, then I may have a chance ...

If there's somewhere to host it, you bet! Actually, even if not, how 'bout just one of the campsites, like the place by the river right across from the parking lot. Or there's also really nice camping in the (state?) forest.
Anyway, yeah, I'm in so long as it's Summer. Come Fall, I may have moved out west.
GO

We still have Colleens and Jim's, but as mentioned before, it is a 20 minute drive. We could reserve campsites nearby, but that would have to the understand and agreement of all.

Don't let me influence your decision. You folks up there know more about the weather than I. If you set it up and I can make it it would be nice to see you again. I like climbing there. It was nice most every day when up there in oct.

Alan you know that I am interested. I may be able to get Climbing for Christ to pitch in $ for some food, and/or arrange another spaghetti dinner at the local church again. (That ought to get Bill going.)
Might want to change the title of the thread to get more attention or move it to events or something??
I promise to bring the good weather again this year!
