11mile-to-Eldo = 2:15 at 5 over, longer during traffic times or TREX closures. 11mile-to-Garden=45 minutes. I'm hoping (still) that some AI will form up for Darkstar and Dreamweaver in another week or so. I hear, tho, that there's been lots of melting up that way, and it just might not happen this year. Anyone heard? I may show as a non-commit depending on plans and partner situs.

If we climb at Lumpy, I'd just camp at the Aspenglen or Moraine Park campground in RMNP. I have no clue what the camping situation is like around Eleven Mile or Eldo.

Ok I know a place with FREE camping, that has climbing RIGHT next to the camping, and it's only ;like 20 minutes from Lumpy. Anybody interested?

free camping sounds good but, DOOD, the front range is probably starting to look like a science fiction movie gone horribly wrong, what with all those corpulent city-people feeling the urge to finally crowbar their asses off the couch.
i say eleven-mile, where the majority of the folks we stand to encounter are going to be fly-fishermen rather than "climbing" poseurs.

Here, here, mtngeo. Some of us flatlanders are quite proud of our bulbous behinds, rippling 12-pack (or was it a case?) abs, and Hulk-like thumb muscles from working the TV remote. And no, it's not the couch. I prefer the turbo-hydraulic Barcolounger that automatically ejects me towards the refrigerator when the snack trough gets low.
And I grow weary of displaying my color-coordinated tights, harness, chalkbag, and slippers (sans shirt, of course!) to the belay Betties, while spraying about the heinous 5.4 sport route I on-sighted for the fifth time ("Dude, that slab was pumpy!").
So, I'm still up for Elevenmile, assuming I can ever find that crowbar. Geo -- did you know many fisherman keep their flies on sheepskin. Just think of the possibilities.

In reply to: Do we have a consensus on 11-mile? Yayers and nay-sayers, we'll give it till today at 5 PM MST then make a decision based on that. Cool? 11-mile mtngeo shorty skibabeage Eldo/Flat-irons flamer Don't make no nevah mind jhattan
I have no opinion either way... Eldo or 11-Mile. Just tell me where, and what date? I am out for the 14th (have to work... :( )
Can accomodate one, perhaps two, in my Jeep for the drive from Downtown Denver.

Somehow, I'm having trouble reconciling a "vente triple caramel macchiato with soy" and "a pair of hairy ones."
Methinks the two are mutually exclusive. Now if you're talking about 8 hour old truck-stop coffee so thick you need a chisel to get a cupfull, then I think you can talk about a pair of hairy ones. Otherwise.... ;)

When is everyone planning to show up? My fiance and I will be leaving at 3 pm tomorrow from Lincoln, NE. I think the plan is to climb at Garden of the Gods on Thursday and head to the Eleven Mile campground Thursday evening.

geez ... you try to MOTIVATE some people and they tie you to the whipping post!
okay, okay -- perhaps the macchiato thing and the "pair of hairy ones" didn't quite strike the synergy i was going for.
point taken. :lol:
see you saturday!

All along, I was under the impression we were doing this on Friday, 13 June. If it's Saturday, I'll have to bail, since I work on Saturday at 8pm.
