In reply to: No, it's at Riverside. There are four campgrounds on the way to 11-mile reservoir, and Riverside is the first one.
Hey Skibs save me and Cologman a spote too!
I leave tomorrow (6-21) for Colorado. So I will be in Colorado Wednesday night, God willing. This will be the longest (car) road trip I have taken totally on my own! Sounds like we have a lot of things happening, in Colorado this week! I really am looking forward to seeing all my good climbing friends in the Rocky Mountains :D :D :D :!:

I’ve reserved Campground 15 for Friday and Saturday nights (24 and 25 June). I can share it with someone for those nights as I’m driving in myself. PM me if interested. I plan to arrive around 5:30 PM on Friday.
Cheers,

Well, after all that fuss Tangen-Foster and I can't make it - bummer, would love to have come out.
C'est la vie - enjoy yourselves and try not to behave like adults...!

Was in 11-Mile today. The river is quite low and there is a wild madfly hatch going on. Bring your fly rod. There were also some flesh-eating flies flying everwhere making it almost impossible to boulder near the river. I will be down on Sunday and staying through Monday. Hope to see you all!

Martha I think 11 mile is covered in the Climbing Colorado Falcon Guide as well, or at least parts of it.

In reply to: Trying not to hit the panic button here, but DOES ANYONE HAVE AN 11-MILE GUIDEBOOK WHO'LL BE THERE TOMORROW EVENING? Damned if I can't locate one anywhere, even at Chessler.
I ordered a copy of D'Antonio's from Amazon last Friday evening and it just arrived in the mail today. I also have a copy of Green's Climbing Colorado. How much should I charge people to let them use the books?
Cheers,
Rob.calm

Oh great, Bob talks me into coming to 11 Mile, and now I find out there's going to be a bunch of old farts gumming up the routes.

Don't worry, we'll be climbing the harder routes that you can't do anyway.

Curt, I'm talking about climbing, not pebble humping. You won't be in my way 5 feet off the deck.

Yeah, spraymeister, but I doubt you can climb that hard unless you're wearing pink lycra.

Churchill Amazing what you can do photoshop these days. :D
On a another note. There has been some major new development at 11-Mile in the last 5 years. Lots of bolted sport routes and some trad.
The old routes in the higher grades (5.11-5.12) are quite hard and gear can be quite hard to place. Some routes on 11-Mile Dome have been re-bolted and have lost the long runouts that use be so typical of this rock.
Feel free to contact me if you need any info on new or old routes.
Curt,
Molly has been talking about you and can't wait to see you again. |

after an hour flight delay in Denver and a 2 1/2 hr. drive home from Spokane, fueled by shitty 7-11 coffee, listening to the Cramps and the Dead kennedys, dodging semis and deers, I finally made it home at 3:30am pacific time. No rest for the weary!!!
Anyways Fantastic time
Skibs: amazing host, your hospitality and generousity was overwhelming. Thanks for dragging my sorry ass up that 14er. I know i didn't say much when it was over...........exhausted and starved...........but it was very cool. Hey did we spend more time driving or climbing........it's a saw-off!!! :lol: Thanks for organizing this great event.
Charley and the PA boys: what a bunch of sweethearts. Always making me smile. Nice climbing with you guys. Charlie anytime you're ready to be my pool boy..............come on up!!!
Bobd: jeezus i've never known someone so opinionated and who never shut up.........i guess that's what made you so endearing. it was great climbing with you. Are you sure our feet are the same size, the approach shoes seem to fit a tad bigger after you borrowed them!!!!!!!!
Colorado contingent: Nice putting faces to usernames. Nice friendly bunch of folks. Great climbing with Kcrag.......fuck that woman can climb!
Special hugs for Shorty, he had me in stitiches thursday night and sunday night at drfter's diner. I would love to ski with you some day!!!
Nice meeting everyone else who popped by or shared our camping area.
colorado is a beautiful state and i've already told bruce he should be looking for a transfer to the area, so i can be a climbing/ski bum in colorado :lol: :lol: :lol:

Marge - glad you enjoyed your stay in our little neck of the woods. Next time you're here we should try to schedule some climb time at "he whose name cannot be said."
As for the skiing thang, just holler and we'll try to coordinate schedules. I can pretty much guarantee I'll return to B.C. in '06 or '07, but it will probably be for "rock star" skiing. It's such a nasty habit -- you should try it some time.

Curt,
You now what happened last time you tried to get close to Molly.
Marge,
You are way cool and a blast to hangout with. Next time we get to hangout just keep it down a little bit. You almost got us kicked out of the campground. Beer and wine don't mix. You should know that at your age!

Did Jeff/logman tear it up? That's one strong, fun old geezer :)
Curt, I wasn't even potty trained when that photo was taken, c'mon ;) You repeat the feat next season (white pants, slider nut in teeth and all) and I will second you. We got a date?
