Hey guys we got another newbie! Well, you came to the right place! We have a bunch of Philly climbers! If you're interested, allow me to put a plug in for the PA Birdsboro Gathering (only an hr. from Philly) you'll meet TONS of fellow PA climbers!!!

If you have ever heard of Doylestown which is North West of Philly not too far from High rocks there is a kick ass rock gym. PM me if you want to hook up there sometime.

All,
Thank you very much for you warm welcome, invitations and words of encouragement. I will be joining you in Birdsboro on Saturday and I am looking forward to meeting each of you.
Now, for my latest climbing experience. Yesterday I officially set up my first two top ropes at Ralph Stover. Took awhile, but eventually got it right. Not sure which was more fun; sucessfully setting up a safe toproping system or climbing! (nah....climbing wins every time).
So, thanks again to all, I am looking forward to meeting you.
Gail
