Hey all: I tried to follow this gatherings post. Ain't been easy BUT I am interested. I'm on the mend (knee surgery)but am getting closer to climbing. May actually try this weekend. If all goes well over the next few weeks then I am in. I've talked to a few of you in the past and hope to meet everyone. The way I figure: climbing Birdsboro, camping at Mitchals (thanks for the spots) and Annie is cooking eveyone bacon & eggs in the morning. I will drive, small car seats 4, coming from Balto, others welcome to ride. Last time I tried to meet up with you Pennsyvanians it rain like hell. So let's hope for good weather. Nov can be a little iffy. Later Charlie
PS I can smell Annies bacon already:-)

I emaied Rob Holtzman to invite him to the gathering and this is what he said:
Thanks fornthe invite. It may interest you to know there is an access agreement with the borough at birdsboro that there is not supposed to be any publicized info reguarding bordsboro. They allow climbing there due to this agreement so posting directions or inviting large crouds is probably not a good idea. I think its great to have a get together but the bird is supposed to be kept a low key area. Maybe you could just have people come who already know about the spot.
If you need to reply to this post, reply to squirt515@hotmail.com If you have any questions about the access issues there you can reach me at this adress in a week and a half.
You may be able to get away with having it there if you keep the numbers low. If not there are a lot of great spots that have better access...
Hmmm....guys. Mitchal, Nate any confirmation of this? Agree/Disagree?

Well that kinda sucks.
I have tried getting info on the quarry from,The access fund,Birdboro City Hall,The "Elusive" Birdsboro Climbing Commitee, Bob Perna(Set most of the routes there) and have gotten ZILCH.
So who is this Rob Holtzman anyhow?And where is he getting his info?And why is this restriction NOT posted on any of the many signs there?
In the 2 years that I have been STEADY climbing there,I have never seen more than a dozen people at a time there,perhaps, that is why.I may have to delete my postings in "Routes" and keep the crag a secret(yeah right!)
Anyhow,I am there for the gathering,be there anyone else or not.
I am also going to send Mr. Holtzman a note to find out the details.This thing isn't dead yet.
And...On the Main page for the gathering,it says that my living room is available to crash in,It is the woods behind my house that is open for tents,as long as nobody gets out of hand.
Keep your ears out on this one,and keep the fingers crossed.If anyone hears anything,either PM me or post it here.
Thank you all.
Climb Happy
Mitch

hahahahaha....as far as i know...there are fisherman, bikers, hikers, runners, walkers, dog ppl, paintball hunters....and climbers, yeah you always can jump on a route....but those that are coming to this event either would have found it eventually or are coming to climb for a weekend with their friends who LIVE HERE and CLIMB THERE...for gawds sakes...it is a friggin public park...dah...ppl love the fact that it isn't busy there...and i doubt the first weekend in november on a shade wall anyone's gonna be screaming shitzz about it!!
RANDY I THINK YOU DO TOO MUCH WRITING TO PPL....HEAR?????
anyhow...the party is still at birdsboro...see you all there and you will see the signs too!!
ps...this is an rc.com event...not a local yokal, randers

well lets just keep in mind to leave nothing more then footprints and careful consideration that we're representing the climbing community...am i going to let one unconfirmed warning stop me or us? No way, just thought it was appropiate to bring to everyones attention so we can be prepared to represent Rc.com and the climbing community in a reasonable fashion.
It would be horrible for us to lose access to this place. So lets go have fun, and not stir up any feathers.
God bless
randy

Hi,
Way to piss off Anne Randy!
I am going to stop in at Birdsboro Town Hall and talk to Judge Smiley about the rules and regsulations at the quarry.I am not going to mention this little idea,just maybe throw the idea of something along these lines out on the table,and seee how she reacts.While she doesn't run the town,she has influence on how the area is used as it is part of the police practice range.She is a very reasonable woman,so we'll see what happens.
I have been informed that Rob Holtzman is a reliable source of beta on ANY rock in Pa., so what he says is more than likely correct.
Let's all see how this all pans out,not being an organized thing and all.
I'll keep you all posted.
Climb Happy(and quietly)
Mitch

what is the settting of birdsboro, is it in town, that it can be patrolled easily? Or fairly remote? Do lots of people use it? Would 15 or so cars set off some alarms at the Hay Creek Park parking lot? Is the area visible to residents?

My God, you people are driving me crazy. I don't know what all of this talk is about limited access to the old quary, but as long as I have been there, there has never been any posted rules of the number of people permited to use the grounds. I say full steam ahead with the plans, and lets have a good time. But just remember, as long as we behave and leave only footprints, Birdsboro township should have no problem or knowledge of us being there.
