OK now you've done it. I was thinking of heading to WV as I read the forum but when the 'B' word got a mention.... hey it's not that I'm an alcofrolic, they go to meetings, I'm just a beer lover. April or May is fine with me but the weekend of EDIT: SEE BELOW> I didn't get down to Seneca at all last year so there or Nelson sounds good. I feel your pain Uncle-Stu, finding partners. I'll be sure to send you an E next time I'm down. I will also be in the Red at Easter if anyone else will be. [ This Message was edited by: darkside on 2002-02-04 15:46 ]

Hey all: I prefer the weeks after Easter 3-31. Daylight savings time starts on 4-7 so the weekend after would give us the most light. As of now any weekend in April is fine. Zlipper--you can only make early March? I thought you could make April as well. W.VA. is only 3-4 hours from Baltimore/Columbia, Isn't your school somewhere around there? It's an easy wknd shuttle. It would be a shame if you couldn't make it since you were the original poster of the idea. The weekend before Easter would be ok for me as well. I think March 23-24. It would be good if Stu drop a line about these dates. For the record: Are we talking Trad or top roping? Later Charlie

20-21st April: Yes Actually the weekend following would be better but I voted in favour because I can make it work. I may have to leave late afternoon but lets get a date set. I hope this weekend is good for Uncle-Stu. Likewise I hope if rrradam & i-karen are still around the east coast, that they will manage it.

hey all : I think DArkside has a problem with the 13-14th. Zlipper problem with the 20-21. Stardust seems agreeable to all, I,m good with all dates (as of now), climbchick likes late April, arrockgirl is open, Adam and Karen are still in the East. Stu still waiting to hear. Mountainrat likes middle 2 weeks. If Mountainrat can do the last weekend of April I think that might appeal to the largest group. OR the first week of April. If I missed anyone then let us know. Charlie

Last weekend of April would work best for me but 1st & 3rd are OK. I work to midnight Friday 12th and back at work 5.30am on the 15th. With the 8hr+ drive I could only make the 13/14th if someone else from Canada could drive/share driving. Not too promising eh! If you're from Ontario, PM me. Driving down with no sleep I could do, but not make it back as well (alive). Which just goes to show that climbers rarely die climbing but on the drive home

Hey Conkdg I work in Beltsville, live Balto. so maybe we can hook up for the ride. I can drive as well. I think stardust needs a ride also. I'll send you an email with more info as the time approaches. Do you climb at EArth Treks? Maybe we can hook up before the trip to climb. Or Carder/Great Falls. Charlie

Good Idea. Now let's lock this down. Sounds like the vast majority of people want to do Seneca Rocks. This is a very, very good choice!! Let's do May, because the Gendarme (the local climbing shop that has a nice porch) and Seneca Shadows (local camping - very nice campground, with hot showers and sand boxes for your tent) will be open. Also, the weather is a bit more consistent during this time. I recommend we hook up May 17-19. For those of you who have never been to Seneca. . . the place is real (that's why I like it). It is a traditional climbing zone. It does have bolted routes, but the easiest ones are very hard 5.11s, on homemade hangers and very, very run out. Wallrat www.carderockbigwall.com

Erm...RJ...I think discussion was which week in April with Uncle-Stu offering his place to camp, and the crag he OWNS, Nelson Rock to climb at. Mountainrat has been taking PM's as to which week in April people are voting for. I do agree we should nail this down soon though and yes Seneca is an awesome piece of rock.

Hey folks: I email U-stu and he says any weekend is cool with him. Gotta love flexibility. He did say that he would appreciate a little trail maintenance from those attending. Darkside: Coming from Ontario-impressive!! I also think we should stick with April since we have the most input with this month. Doesn't mean we can't do May as well. I'm going to email folks that had shown an earlier interest but haven't voted on an exact date. Later Charlie
