bummer about QQ - I mean for me anyway having to miss it this weekend - got plans going saturday, sunday too...gonna try to hit QQ prolly the following weekend or the next...or the next...;-)
for any folks metrowest-south & worcester area, I'll be climbing at gravity in franklin (wideguy is supposed to show up too) sat afternoon from 2-5 pm...
I keep forgetting to mention (off-topic stuff coming) but my band is playing tonight at the Landing Strip Cafe in mendon MA, directions to the bar can be found on the band website thru my profile...hey, we're a ROCK band, this is about ROCK climbing, so I guess it IS on topic after all ;-)

The weather looks good for Saturday:
"Sat Mar 08 Partly Cloudy 41°/35° 10 %"
I will be there if I can get a belay, how about 10:30am?

yooooooooo!!!
How's everyone doing? It's looking like Saturday's gonna be the day,forcecast is partly cloudy in the 40's, that will be like a nordic heaven in QQ..................................and sunday on the other hand is going to be rainy and miserable.......so says the weatherman>>> in N.E. they have been known to be wrong on ocassion
Still it looks like Sat/ will be the best bet though, who can make it.........
:P Who's With ME................ :) :) :)

Fear no snow, change your plans, hit the rock. I'm in!!!! What time? I was assuming 10:30, but I haven't heard back from Jeff or Foo yet. Anyone know? bonesz, I hear your 12, but what time for who else?
Sillymnkee, look back in this thread some, on the front page or maybe a few pages back, there are links to the quaries with directions. Or look them up in the routes database. We'll figure out what time.
See ya'll

GOOD MORNING Kiddies, it's going to be a beautiful day at the Quarries, a crispy start early in the morning warming up to 47 degrees ! Which on the rock translates to above 57..... Bring your water bottles and milk crates, cause there is gonna be some climbing going o-n-n. Your all sick, what the heck are you doing up so early anyways ? :shock:
I'LL SEE YOU AT THE CRAGS ! :shock:

*comf* all those who couldn't make it. The weather was great but we should have brought a boat to belay from.
I have tape shaped tan-lines on my hands and major tannage on my face. Now everyone can tell what I was doing (not studying).
Just another fun day out at the quarries.
Nice whipper!

Had a blast, it was good to meet Pete from Chicago, got to figure out how to keep the shoes dry. The wet crack kicked my a__. I think strength training is in order !
That was the best fall/ wipper I've ever seen. It's not flying it's Mike falling with style :shock: :shock:
In case I haven't mentioned it , thanky you for letting me "tag along" and climb with you guys, nice of you to bring stranger in.
I'm gonna stop with the DD, perhaps next time cold cuts and actual food.."sweets are good once in a while, but-cha can't live on 'em"
DIDN'T GET BAGGED !!!!!!!
Had a blast. :)

sorry I missed QQ outing, but had a good time at Gravity none the less. Met up with wideguy there, had several good climbs.
my oldest daughter Haley came along and really got into it *psyche!!!* I think she's gonna accompany me and her brother regularly...I'll work her into it , and eventually talk her into coming to QQ.. heh, my evil fatherly plan!
was that big area of ice all melted at C wall?

WOW ... I'm so jealous that you got to climb this weekend. Did some snowshoeing on Mt. Adams and stayed at a cabin up there with 11 students this weekend ... fun, but still work (and definitely not climbing). I wish I was there with ya ... oh well, I'm going to Tennessee next weekend ... Today looks nice too (Sunday). Someone distract my girlfriend - I'll grab my rack and be at the quarries in 30 ... :twisted:
