i am very familiar with the campground at rattlesnake mtn, having stayed there nearly every weekend last season. what i am trying to say is doesnt it seem a bit silly (counterintuitive, even) to reserve an entire campground which is used exclusively by climbers for the purpose of holding a gathering of climbers?? im not trying to knock the idea of a festival of sorts, i just feel that reserving an entire area for this purpose accomplishes nothing more than turning away fellow climbers who are not "in the know"

I"ll need to rent a room. My tent broke this weekend, due to high winds in the Kancamangus. Does rental include continental breakfast?

I moved back to NE about a year and a half ago. I would love to meet some more climbers from the area and climb up at Rumney...which I still haven't gotten a chance to do. So that being said, count me in.

The point of this event is for climbers to meet other climbers...not to turn climbers away. I'm hoping that there will be a lot of people showing up that were unaware and become happily surprised. Look forward to meeting you.
And the Gathering Grows!

Hey Al... just wondering if we should schedule a snow date. I don't think the winter weather is going to be gone by June.

My schedule is freed up. You can count me as a show. Well, me + 1...
Let it snow, it'll weed out the pansies. Climbing while it's snowing or ice is on the route adjacent to you builds character.

I'm going to be lost without my shiny gearz. Though I will also have a neophyte with me, so we'll have to take it easy.

It does have more of a trad feeling then a boulder feeling. Love them airy routes!

Hey believe it or not I climbed rock yesterday!! OK so I used ice gear for the first pitch and still had poons on for the second, but I clipped a piton, and placed rock gear which is nearly like rockclimbing. Back to ice climbing later this week though.
Oh and I wish my gearz was still shiney maybe I'll go buy a new cam next month.
Have fun anyway.
