The Tradition Continues!
This years event will be the weekend of June 20 - 22. We have not finalized the area where we will be camping, but I will post that information as soon as it becomes available. We are trying to be as close to the parking lot as possible, hopefully right across the street!
For those who have not been, it is a weekend of fun and challenging your skills in the safer environment of the sport climbing world where you don't have to worry about your gear failing or zipping, finding the right placement and all the other real fun of trad climbing. There will be those who will push you to your limits and those who will gladly share an easy day of just climbing ... your choice.
Mark your calendars!

I got the number of the campground across from the parking lot and left a message on their machine. Hopefully I'll hear back shortly and will post info pronto.

Ok, I heard back from Joanne form the camp already. I have reserved the entire area for the weekend of 6/20 - 6/22. She usually charges $7 per person, per night. She is willing to negotiate the price depending on how many people we have.
She would also like to get a good idea of how many people will be coming. I'd like to get back to her by May 15th with a head count.
Josh... Joanne said that the donkey has had a long and cold winter and he looks forward to seeing you soon.

We are talking just two nights stay for the event, even though we can come early and stay late. For her putting up with all of us, I say give the Lady her $14! Where else are we going to find such a bargain and right across the street!

I agree! just think of the savings in gas money alone.

why rent out the whole place for your event? seems unnecessary and likely that you would just be shutting out people who are unaware of your event and had planned on camping there. i doubt that there will be enough people involved in this to necessitate reserving the entire campgroud.

1. I'll give you a hint-- it is in Rumney
2. We will be praying that it doesn't rain and we may eat a free spaghetti dinner at the local church if they will host it again this year, but it ain't church-y for sure.

If anyone is looking for a huge event with 100's or 1000's of people, this ain't it. It may become that way in the future, if people will come, but the numbers are low.
As for the camping area, this is a persons back yard (really a field) that is right across the road from the cliffs. The location is perfect, but it is not a camping site as someone would expect. There are no showers, running water (I think), store on site, laundry, game room, pool (but there is the river!), fire pits etc. It is just a field where the family makes a couple of extra dollars a year to help support themselves where climbers are blessed by the location.
Everything that will be needed can be found only a couple of miles away at the local country store located in the canter of Rumney. If it's the night life you desire, Plymouth is about 7 miles down the road.
Yup, it's in New Hampshire, in case you are wondering. There are more wildlife around then people,

hey the weather turned out Ok last year.. i don't think any climbing suffered.
I was hesitant about the dinner last year at the church but went and was pleasantly surprised. It was not churchy at all.. they said grace before dinner and that was it.. but even a non religious person like myself should be able to handle that. The people who put it together were super nice and treated us very well. If you don't want to go then it's your choice and no one will think any different. Except Bill who will thank you over and over since he'll get more food ;)
I don't see a reason why they would have to close the whole thing because of us. Although i think it would be a good idea to leave the nylon hotels at home and bring regular tents to be as consolidated as we can. We might also ask if we should park some of the cars outside of the main camping circle to allow more spaces to set up.
there is a hose for filling water bottles and stuff.. but not like showering or anything that uses alot of water
