As it was for last year, this is just a small weekend gathering for those who are interested with getting together with old friends or meet new prospective partners.
This year, it will be on June 19th and the camping will be across the street at Joanne's. Not sure if the camping is still at $7 per night, but will let you know after I talk with her.
Last year was a pretty nice, except for a little downpour and the splitting of a tree near the campsite by lightening, but hey, this is New England ... don't like the weather, wait a minute!
Pretty sure Ward will not have his new guide out by then, so I am including a link to last years thread that has many climbs posted for those who lack an old guide book.

Interested??
And the list starts!

Sounds like fun, again, but like the last several years, the timing sucks for me.
I will be in Glacier Bay, Alaska on a 91' boat trying to mask my disappointment with ocean kayaking, glacier explorations, and deep sea fishing.
I hope you all think kindly on the hardships I will be enduring.

Nice! One of these years we will be able to hook it up! I haven't seen you in years.
Enjoy the nice summer days in Alaska. I'm sure you'll be too busy to think of us, but if the temp get hot, we'll probably be thinking of you!

Damn - I thought my excuse would be best - but you beat me again. I'll be in Great Britian - hopefully on Cenataph Corner and Dream of White Horses. If the weather doesn't cooperate I'll be in Pete's Eats and a pub or 2. I'm sure this is gobbly gook to most of you but I would bet that Loran knows what I'm talking about.

I might have to review a little so that I don't backclip by accident. I can use my alpine draws right?

if you really want to.. but if you pull out cordalettes or long slings at anchors be prepared to be laughed at ;)
also don't try to clip like 3 things into one bolt... ask Erik (cerikpete) how that works.

Sorry, I'm out this year.
Not sure what I'll be doing that exact weekend, but it'll probably be in Colorado or Utah.
Have fun, and take lots of pics. I look forward to the trip report(s)!

I assume I will have my usual guest room in Rich's mansion of a tent.
Any chance of a church supper???? Heck I would step up and do a Catholic grace in Latin for another good meal and excellent company!
Unfortunately no Trad Friday this year, at least for me, since I will actually be working. Don't ask!

Same weekend again ... sorry. That would also mean that new Pizza joint up the road will be packed. Their food is good, even though it is a bit pricier ... hamburger for $5.50. Guess it's the pizza and pool again!
Todd ... trad would be great! What cha thinking?
