Hey, I am interested. Which day? Saturday doesn't look good. I am free Sunday. I've never climbed there and would love to have someone show me around. Let me know the date and time. Thanks Charlie chalfredm@netscape.net
PS I am nursing a sore ankle and this will be the first climb on it. Hopefully it won't slow me down. I can always belay you tho'

Wow that face looks pretty nice. How tall are those rocks? (\me goes looking for the Horst book)
I think I will hit Great Falls tomorrow but this sounds like a place to add to the hit list. Is anyone here familiar with Old Rag? How soon in the summer does it tend to become unbearably hot?
Hope you guys enjoy your outing tomorrow.

The rock is around +- 130', most of the climbs are 80' top ropes, the section you saw in the picture, depending on where you start, is relatively short.

Hi All,
I just saw the pic you put in Maxx,and now I'm too scared to go.Sorry all.
The name of the coffee shop is Zoetropolis,it is an independant film theater,cofee/cafe' and art gallery.the girl there should be Leigh Scroble,or my oldest brother Keith.The building is painted purple,so you can't miss it.Behave there or I may be disowned.Can't wait to see you all,yes,I will be there(who you kidding?)
See you all tomorrow
Mitch
