Cool. I know its hush hush. I have competed the last two years and had a blast. I was just wondering how useful looking through the old booklets from two years ago would be. I felt like I wasted too much time last year finding the climbs that I could work. Oh well guess I should have climbed less of the mine area in the last couple of months huh? :?

Hey Erica,
I think Jim is roping off the valley behind the campground for only vendors and their cars.
crimpandgo- Yes looking through the old guides should help you. I did change a bunch of problems. I could tell you which ones they are... but I think I will let you see for yourself on Friday when you pick up your packet. :D
Part of the fun on Friday is looking through the booklet to see what has changed.
Almost 600 competitors registered so far. Looks like it is going to be another incredible party.
Greg

for those mourning the demise of the FISH tank, don't worry - the folks at VOODOO take their drinking seriously!

hey erica -
we have a huge group and will probably be camping near the intersection of the loop road and the main 4x4 road. make sense? there's usually a port-o-john at that intersection. would be nice to have you and your cronies nearby.
gogo is heading out this morning to grab the spot.

That's correct Eric. Go is on her way - well as early as early starts get for her. There will be about 12 people in our little happy camper group so we should be pretty easy to find. No monster camp Tre this year though. I think we've got enough alcohol to emulate our own fish tank this year.
Anyone interested feel free to stop by and say hello..

Eric,
You're coming down! Right on! We'd love to camp by you fine folks if that's possible. We have about 10 'cronies' :wink: right now. Would that be too crowded?
I'll ask Ivan if he knows where that spot is. We're heading out tonight to grab spots.
:)

More reminders from the PBB website:
In reply to: 2004 Pbb - Important Notices / Reminders 04-06-2004 Please observe the following suggestions, restrictions, and guidelines: ~The 2004 PBB will not serve the traditional "Mexican" buffet this year because of the lack of sponsorship dollars. Bring lots of money for on-site caterers and for vendors! The PCC regrets this, but it cannot be helped. ~ NO dogs and/or pets will be allowed in the campground, vending area, or competition site. If you bring a pet, you must keep them at your campsite and on leash. ~Make sure that you bring plenty of water (the only water at PBB will be water that vendors are selling) and bring camping materials and clothes for warm and cold temps. Oak Flat is notorious for drastic temperatures changes from day to night. ~ Bring picture ID that clearly states your age. You need this for On-Site Check-In and for "drinking" alcoholic beverages. If you look young, you WILL BE "carded" when drinking or attempting to get beer from New Belgium or alcohol from the VooDoo Lounge. ~If you bring alcoholic beverages with you, please make sure they are in plastic or can containers. Do NOT bring glass containers! The PCC highly recommends that you camp Saturday night as AZ DPS will have a sobriety check-point set up and/or many DPS officers in the vicinity specifically looking for drunk drivers leaving the 2004 PBB. If you must drive Saturday night, please consider NOT drinking or having a "designated" driver. ~ The Spectator Fee will be $10.00 for the 2004 PBB. |

Also, if you're into the boo-koo vendor deals, consider this offer from Evolv/Yosemite Bum:
--------------------------------------
Buy a pair and donate an old pair of used climbing shoes and you'll get $20 off retail price. And you'll get a free resole (in form of a coupon) on these shoes when the time comes, worth $23 (rands and shipping are extra).
We will collect the donated (aka "trade-in") shoes and fix them up and
donate them to charity or non-profit groups in need of shoes. our most
recent donation was Outdoor Outreach in San Diego (where Meg/roseriae) works. we gave them 20 pairs and will give 20 more this month.
So, people would buy the $89 shoes at $69 but get a $23 resole coupon for when their shoes wear out.
-------------------------------------
Sound sweet to you, too? Ya, I thought so :) Evolv is hooking up with rock_diva's shop, Over the Crux, for this event and will give to a charity of Shelley's choice too. So it's a warm 'n fuzzy deal all around.
*end plug* :)

Right on Hillary!
I just bought some new Anasazis, but I see them going towards a good cause. Thanks for posting up.

As the field is roped off, we secured sites behind the rock flats right after the open field. It is exactly 3/10 mile down the first turn off from Magma Mine Rd on the left.
Come by and say hi!

I can't imagine why not, Ed. He has put so much time and effort into his company, I would imagine that he would show up at an event of this magnitude.

The PBB was a blast again as usual. I am glad I got a chance to meet some of you at the event this year. Hope I can join you on some of your outings in the future :D
