Jason, Thanks for the updated list! I'm driving down from Portland with a few fellow climbers, one of whom just broke her leg...is there a central location where she can hang out, chat and drink beer??? Looking forward to seeing you all out there :)

Jason,
How about a whiteboard or something at RRR where people can find climbing partners?

Picklejuice,
There is a central location for those that are not climbing. It's at Spring Mountain Ranch, same place you're probably camping, and the same place you check-in/register. During the day there are a ton of other activities going on (ie. Crash pad sumo wrestling, Humaneering, slacklining, Yogo etc.)

Good to see you on this board...
I'll look into putting up a whiteboard.

hey guys, it was a blast meeting some of you out at the rendezvous!
cheftops - thanks for all the beta, man! i'll redpoint that 10d next time and will be ready to onsight rebel without a pause! i gotta get strong like you. yo, sorry we missed connecting on day 3 and 4.
tigerlilly - it was great running into you everywhere and climbing that first day. hope your feet have healed up well. i'll give you a holllar when i'm ready for the gunks (what's the name of that traversy ledge again?)
caliclimbergirl - umm.. WHY did we not climb together? ah yes, you are a traddie and i was a sportie. but, i'm converting. maybe  . once i brush up on my new found trad knowledge from the clinics and practice my crack technique - you better make room on that next multipitch classic hanging belay!
scott/bob - you guys are hilarious and awesome to climb with. i'll definitely see you in utah or maybe NRG sometime! i'll never forget our crazy climb (see below)
bigfatrocks - let's meet up in the wichitas for that trad clinic or in austin/erock anytime, man!
ALL: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLIMB AT RRR?
Shady Ladies. 100' 5.7** in Ice Box Canyon Sunday afternoon. We found out exactly why it's called the ice box. Torrential rains that started half way up the lead + pretty cold temp + super whipping winds = sideways Butt-cold rainsheets that made waterfalls that eventuallly poured into the belayers stance at the bottom. I seconded through the blowing rain and mini-waterfalls to clean and retrieve a stuck piece! Would I do it again... Hell YEAH!!!
see y'all next year, or sooner!
