I would be up for that big time! I am psyched to try Space Shot in a day as well and want to do some other classics like moonlight and prodigal as well. It would also be nice to possible share gear (I'll loan you my #2 camalots for spaceshot if I can borrow your tcus for moonlight) Count me in.

YES!!!
Count me in.
I haven't done Zion yet, but one of my partners and I were having Big Wall fantasies last week. I'll just have to see how the school shizzit works out.

Which weekend are you thinking of? The Phoenix Bouldering Contest is April 19th, 20th & 21st and I’ll be in the Grand Canyon another weekend in April. If it’s one of the other weekends, I’ll definitely go!

Well, I don't know if I would call myself a seasoned wall veteran (rat) quite yet, but after climbing with Andrew (atg200) in March, I may know my way around the place a little. It depends on if I have a job by then and what kind of job it may be. I'm sure I could go up for a long weekend.

TRADitionally yours,

atg200 & addroids-When are you going down there? I was thinking about going the last week in March. If my roommate gets a job before then I may need a partner. What routes are you planning on doing?

wigglestick,

we should be getting there the evening of the 15th, and staying a week or so before moving on to moab. planning on doing swoop gimp, and trying to do spaceshot and moonlight buttress fast. i think wallhammer is going to be there as well, so the more the merrier.

Too bad. I have some friends coming into town to go skiing that weekend. So I don't think I can meet you down there. I am going to probably head down on the 25th so we will just miss each other. Swoop gimp looks awesome. Some friends of mine were working on a variation that goes left from the top of the 2nd (or 3rd) pitch while I was on Space Shot. Good luck.

I'll be gone by then, but anybody who will be there the 14th-22nd can email me to set up a beerbeque.

Ooze, Nothing set in stone yet but I think we are planning on getting there on the 26th and staying through the 31st. It would be great to hook up and compare notes/exagerated stories with you and anybody else who shows up.

Edit: Oh, yea. I am a big wall gumby too. Sometimes I don't know a pin scar from a hole in the ground. But I am trying to fix that. Highly motivated as well. What routes are you hoping to do ooze?

Hey Stu,

I just talked to Brian today. I'm going to try and make it to Zion in a few weeks or so. He has some BIG plans, maybe we could get together for some fun in the sun.

Yeeeeahhhhh!!!!

Cheers mate, Ammon

I planned on soloing some Zion moderates the week of March 23-28. If anyone wants to split the workload drop an email!
