Birdsboro sounds great. However, let me make a confession, I've never climbed sport before. (If I could climb as much as i'm on this stinkin website, I could flash anything) However, the reality is, that I have a whole lot of enthusiaism, but as much much climbing ability.
Therefore, is there toping potenitial there as well?
Also, what about the WAIVERS? Mitchal mentioned in the Birdsboro Dbase, about getting Waivers....is that something we need to look into. Especially, if we gather under the name of RC.com, we should make a good impression.
Let me know....the dates sound good!
And, if we get tired of Birdsboro. We can head to MT. gretna, Lancaster, Philly....
Good Location, plus easy access from the Turnpike.
God Bless
Randy

Ok, so far what I have as the potential gathering info is:
Pennsylvania RC.com gathering
Birdsboro, PA
November 1-3 2002
If noone has any problems with those dates then we just need people and at least one person that knows what the hell they are doing.
Just so everyone knows, I have been gym climbing for about 2 months, all TR, no lead, a "real" rock virgin, and certified at Philadelphia Rock Gym to belay with a grigri.
I'm taking a class for tr climbing outside soon, and will be ice climbing come winter.
Just wanted to throw that out there so everyone knew my situation.

Hi All,
Anne and I climb at Birdsboro quite often.I put together the listing of routes for there.It is in the routes DB.As for waivers,I think I amended that post,waivers are no longer required to climb at the quarry,just good old manners and ethics.As this is one of my main climbing spots,I will accept bribes,gifts,etc. for beta and help on the routes there.It's possible that a few may camp out behind my place in the woods,it's been done before.
I'll put more in a few,I have a car to fix.
Climb Happy
Mitch

Hey all,
I don't know where you sign up for this, or if it is an exclusive outing, but I would love to tag along. It sounds like a good time. I'm a college student and with my schedule its hard to get weekends in like this unless I plan way in advance, so this is great for me. I would love to get away from the frat party scene for a weekend of climbing. Let me know if you all don't mind an extra climber. Thanks, Rock On, Cary

I don't mind keeping dibs on who wants to go.
I've never been there so I can't answer those types of questions, but it seems Mitch and Anne know about this place.
So I guess if you want, PM me and I'll save it until we get more info. I'll post who I have each week day so we know the who and what.
This is so going to rock! (pun intended)
(My band has a show on Saturday night, Nov. 2nd at The Grape Street Pub if anyone over 21 is interested and wants to take a side trip.)

A great idea would be to post the list. Then keep EDITING IT, so we can find everyone in the same post.
Now have we confirmed a date yet? Nov 1-3?
PS. I must say its interesting to see all the rookies posting...that's pretty awesome it "see" so many newbies!!!
