MoM weekend 2016

[clink]

 F4, any dates in mind for MOM? We talked about 2 sites possibly for this year although my daughter Rose and family may want an individual site close to the bathrooms with the baby. If my younger girls and friends come we would be around 8. Laura's friend Isabel has taken off since last year. I think she has climbed some outdoor 5.11  and is super stoked about climbing.

Larry said you have to reserve 6 months in advance.
I have heard several people express a desire for one of the group sites on the main level instead of down over the embankment like previous years. Sounds like your vote goes to that too clink. Those stairs and uneven trail down to the lower site are a pain.

Do you need some kind of elderly assisted lift?

Maybe just a belay.

[clink]

Just to be clear,  my reason for the seperate site was to create distance from a screaming descendant at 2 in the morning. I would stay with the group this year.

If El Nino keeps up, the same time as last year would work well this year since snow loads may prevent any granite access for quite awhile. Just sayin.

FWIW, I haven't seen anything from AAC emails about Pinns so far.

I've already consulted the Chance brothers with regard to the possibility of you attending a Pinnacles event.

I also checked the campground's availability for the nice sites at road level - 127 to 130 and they are all booked through April. I can look at it some more tomorrow while I listen to the rain and pine for choss

been super busy

yeah, it needed to have been done in Nov.

How is this for irony? It is sunny and nice here and lightly raining at Pinns.

I just looked at the site and prowled sites 121 to 134 (all the group sites).
The weekend of April 1st has a couple sites but after that we are into May dates.

Should we do a Fool's Day weekend?

Suggestions? Holidays in May are Mother's Day and Memorial day.
Remove those and we have the weekend of the 14th and 21st.

If we wait very long I imagine all those weekends will be booked too.

[mynameismud]

book what ever you can.  I will be surprised if I am around.

I will be surprised if I am around.

This comment really bugs me. Yes, I know you have a life outside of climbing. Yes, I understand that there are good, maybe even pressing reasons why you might leave this area.

But, perhaps for selfish reasons, I don't want you to go.

We've been climbing together since 1996. We've done crazy sh#t and routine climbs too. We haven't gotten in as much climbing together lately as we used to, but Pinnacles will not be the same climbing place if you're not part of it.

So I'm gonna make a formal motion to all of the Masters of Mud. Here it is:

If Mud leaves the area, I move that we:

1.  All take a specific block of time off each Pinnacles season to go to Pinnacles to meet DES and climb there with him; and

2.  All help pay his transportation costs to get there (in other words, fly his skinny little ass down to make sure he shows).

Who else is in?

[mynameismud]

I really appreciate the kind words.  However, you might want to wait and find out where I end up.

Aye, motion for.

Or we all fly to up and climb PNW choss together?

[Brad Young]

Nah, not unless you're leaving planet earth. I'd help fly you to Pinns for a week from deepest darkest Russia (if that's what it took).

[JC w KC redux]

I'm in.

Oh and by the way, if Kat and I win Powerball, I'll set up a retirement fund for him so he can stay.
I'll also buy a house in Soledad and a ranch on the east side where all of us can stay nearby anytime for free.
Then I'm going to follow mungie around and buy up any crags he's looking at so he has to come back to Pinns

I hereby move that J.C. and K.C. win Powerball.

BTW, can I win if I don't play?

[F4?]

Mr Mud, don't give in to the corp desires (their desires).

Stay here in sunny California.

I went ahead and reserved sites 12, 13 and 14 for the weekend of April 15th.
They allow 6 people to a site.
All the group sites were reserved and the max there was only 20.
Chime in and let us know if you're planning to attend.
If we need more sites there are more available but I have no idea for how long.

Those are really excellent choices!

We're in for 4 to 6 people.

I'll plan on being in for the weekend.  Not sure how many will be with me, so I booked site #9 for some extra space.
