Dear RC.communists. I don't hate you. To show you my love, I am going on a roadtrip and want to climb with anyone who's available (except USnavy, seriously, fuck that guy).
How long I stay in any given area is totally dependent on the people I find to climb with, the other climbing areas I hear about along the way, the weather, and if I'm having fun. Therefore no dates are given. Generally I'm starting at Twall and heading north.
I'm loading up the van, crossing my fingers that it won't leave me stranded somewhere, and heading east. Thursday or Friday should be when I get rolling.
I might visit some family along the way but first stop will be Twall in Tennessee. Time at the Obed etc.. I've heard of some really good bouldering in the vicinity too.
I then pretty much plan on spending at least 4 weeks in the Red. I'll park the van for a while and travel back to Bermuda for a week or so in April, then back to the road. Rumney, the Gunks, whatever other shit I can think of too.
Throw down suggestions for my trip for areas to climb, I don't know the east at all (hence, the reason for the trip).
If you are going to be around and want to climb, let me know through this site. Day partners or long term partners, bosom or not, all are welcome. I'll be travelling with a full rack or 5, 40 quick draws, a bosch, a giant bottle of baby oil, and handcuffs.
Validate me!!

road-trip sounds great! (welcome back btw) if you make it out west it would be fun to hook up for some beers and climbing but please leave the oil in the van.

If you want to die at the hands of a n00b, I'll be in the northeast this summer starting in June when I get back from S.A.
Welcome back to the nob.

I might be at T Wall this weekend.
I will be at The Red between March 12 and 20.
I am tentatively planning on being at the Gunks from mid May to Mid June.

Well, if your van floats I got some crags that would float your boat.

well, it'll make it a helluva a lot easier for me to cut your rope if you did.
I'm hope late May and have to be in Boston 4-7. After that I should be cool to join you if you'll still be there.

When are you going to be in TN? I'm there for 4 days this weekend (LRC and Rocktown, probably), and I have been twisting some arms to go to Obed sometime, without much success so far... I would be very easily talked into that. T-wall spanked me last time, so I need a revenge on it, too.
I am sure I'll see you at the Red.

That thing looks sweet. I've rapped down Forbidden Fruit (11a R) and it looks incredible, too.

Welcome back Angry!
I don't know if you plan on making it as far north as New Hampshire, but count me as a potential partner if you do. We have great trad at Cathedral, Whitehorse, Cannon, and surrounding crags, and sport at Rumney. Pawtuckaway has good bouldering as well.
I can also offer a guest bedroom if you need a break from crashing in the van. All this is dependant on our house not selling before then; if it does then I may cross paths with you at some of the other destinations already mentioned on our planned 4 month road trip/move out to Colorado.
