Andrew, most of the climbing was on the Island of Java on cool limestone cliffs and towers up to a 1,000 feet! Pretty wild places with monkey on the walls and fruit bats the size of my Lab. The bouldering was out of this world. Huge, beautiful boulders set back in the jungle and rice fields near a small village with wonderful people and spectacular scenery! Give me a call and I can give you more information and some names of climbers that I met!

In reply to: Sorry kids, (and before Geo calls me a BAIL QUEEN again), but that's the weekend of the Winter Park Hawgfest. We're talking lots of biker boys in leather....hmmmmm. Lineup includes David Lee Roth, Buddy Guy, Little Feat, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Marshall Tucker Band and Lewis & Floorwax and the Groove Hawgs. This old hippie's gonna take a smokey walk down memory lane. Have fun!
Damn!!! I think I'm falling in love with you girl!!!! :D

I should have some pictures to post here pretty sooon of Ellingwood Ridge and from the Class II "hike" that skibby mentioned. I did the class II route on Friday. From the summit, you can see the ridge. It is soooooo cool looking. Those of you who decide to take the class II route, you won't be disapointed. It's beautiful too.

Here are a couple shots of the Ellingwood Ridge, but from this persepctive you really don't get a great idea of the jaggedness of the ridge:

Sign me up for the "short bus" (aka special, slow, or gifted bus) -- we're goin' on a field trip! Woo-hoo! I'm willing to whimper with the best of 'em up Ellingwood. And assuming the Geritol kicks in Sunday morning, count me in for Monitor Rock.
Geo, with a little luck I may be able to supply some salmon and/or halibut steaks for the weekend. I'll be in Alaska the prior weekend with my Dad, and hopefully we may just land a minnow or two. Let me know if you need additional grub.
Skibby -- have you picked the Jello flavor, yet? This makes all the difference in the world.

Geo, I'm going to try and make it up Saturday evening for hanging out and whatever rock we can find on Sunday. I'll assume someone there has the local guidebook, only available in Aspen and Glenwood right now (me, too lazy to stop last time I was in Glenwood too, wah)... Monitor and Instant Karma sound like neat destinations. Don't count me for food or sleep space at this point - I'll probably have gorged after meeting my MA friend in Boulder in Sat (Flatirons intro guiding day), and if it's nice I'm hoping to just roll out a bag under the stars wherever I won't get run over.

Looks like I gotta pass. :( I'll be just getting back from a conference for work in Atlanta and won't be able to get someone to watch my 14 yr old two weekends in a row. Have fun!!

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it, either. I'm not going to be on the road in time to get there (barring a teleporter), by the looks of things. :(
But on the bright side, I'll be closer (Oregon) for the next one!
