2024 FALL GET TOGETHER

[clink]

by then, I should have no excuses.

If it's been long enough, I get full onsight credit

 You nailed my personal philosophy on climbing in between large meals each day. Full onsights get an extra letter grade. All those 10d's baby, are 11a directly after lunch.

Snack Ascent ratings?

Is anyone sticking around for Sunday, November 3rd? I'll be out of town on the 1st and flying back to San Jose (from visiting my mom in Portland) on the 2nd. Would love to meet up if anyone will still be around that Sunday.

Alacia will be at the park and I think is planning on meeting you all at the campground on the 1st.

Hey Gavin,  We will be climbing on Sunday. Not sure exactly where yet but lets meet up in the morning.

[Brad Young]

Vicki and are are staying through Sunday night. So, yes, definitely climbing Sunday.

[Gavin]

Noal and Brad - that's great! I'd love to climb with you guys if you'll be around.

[kurt]

I'll likely be there both Saturday and Sunday.

[NOAL]

Glad you can make it Kurt!

Hi All!
This is my first Fall Gathering. Super excited!
I got a campsite..don’t recall the number right now. I’m showing up Friday night and leaving mid day Sunday.

How does the food sitch work? Do we chip in for cost of the main dishes and then pot luck the rest?!
Is the group grub just for dinners so we bring our own breakfast and trail food I assume?
I have an extra two burner Coleman I’ll bring.

Looking forward to meeting new friends and climbing some classics with legends.

 Are propane fires allowed? Is there any input to know about the fire restrictions this weekend?
 

[NOAL]

Hi Jamie,

I reserved two campsites for anyone who wants to come. You are more than welcome to stay in either site. 

No need to chip in for for food.  It's pretty informal.  Last year I brought some things to share for dinner on Friday and Saturday.  Caleb also brought some food to grill and ice cream on Saturday.  It was fun to hang out and grill so I thought we could do that again this year.  Breakfast and lunch folks kind of do their own thing.

Look forward to seeing you too!  I was planning on going climbing on Friday.  If anybody is going to be around during the day Friday let me know.

There has not been much rain so I would imagine the fire restriction is still in place.

They no longer allow the propane campfire.  Seems that someone was using one and the adjacent campsite got jealous because they did not have one and could not have fire.  Jealous campers tried to police the propane campers and tell them absolutely no campfires of any sort were allowed.  Argument ensued and fist fight occurred.  No more propane camp fire.  Also according to the ranger people were sitting under small trees using propane campfires.

Geez!
 I’m jealous of both Brad and JC’s smoking hot legs, but I’m not going to try and get shorts banned.

Aw no cookies this time?!

Say, what time do you need to show up on sunday to snag a parking spot around bear gulch? The kids and Jesse will cry if we have to take the shuttle bus.

Also any recommendations for kid friendly crags? We were going to just do discovery wall with some nice rope gun parents, but open to other suggestions.

Right?!  C'mpn Cookies.  You can park the rig in Clink's camp site.  I promise I won't put any cilantro in the guacamole.

 The shuttle service has been suspended indefinitely.  I found this out last year when I had a flat tire and showed up a little late.  Thought that they just stopped running it in the winter but turns after I looked into it that there is not enough funding to pay the shuttle driver.  At first this seemed bad but could be a good thing.  Once people realize they have to walk a couple of extra miles they might not come back to visit and the parking situation could get better. 

I would say get there at 8 to 8:30 if you want to park in the lot

I think if there is a 50% chance of snow there's 0% chance of Munge attending 

It did snow. Not enough for the fun stuff, but alas the prognosticated future knows no variables just outcomes. % chance for tomorrow is dwindling.
