Diamond in the crack is an awesome 5.6!
I think the 8th might work.
BTW, where is Chris going?

2 weeks ago we ran into a party at the RRG that had just gotten off tunnel route, they said it was a 5.6 and still super classic. But doing it in the summer would be too hot and crowded. Thanks for all the other suggestions however.
so who is all going to rons on the 2nd?

i just posted a picture of my wall...may take a day to get approved. keep an eye out for it.
it isn't that great, but hope to wet the appetite of my hoosier buddies. how 'bout noon or one on may the 2nd? so far, i've got the thumbs up from sportster and greenspace.
and, traddaddy, chris is going to a better place...west of the mississippi. i think montana, then, wyoming.
p.m. me for directions.

Theoretically I am in for the 2nd. I have to be back to TH by 6p for a group at work (rock climbing, funny enough).
If anything changes, I'll let you know. What do we need to bring, Ron?

i just got back from the red and, unfortunately, missed the connection with greenspace. sorry chris, we were at middle fork and then at miguels this morning, then i went to roadside. i hope you made a connection somewhere and nailed kampsite.
easton, don't need to bring anything. let's start around noon so that you can make it back in time.
got a picture posted of my wall. hopefully, this will provide the motivation for traddaddy and andy_lemon to make the trip.

RON- that wall is soo cool my hands started to sweat when I saw it, defenetly not missing the opt. to play on it.
Sorry I didnt call you when I was down there but believe me I was in no shape to attempt anything that required coordination., I got the forward from chris so yea you can count me in.
Are there any crags near bloomington like 1 or 2 hours away? I want to get some climbing on saturday if im going to be down that way, camping would be cool too, is anyone interested?

had a fantastic time today.... sam and chris came down. downed some food--thanks redpoint mama-- and then climbed for a couple of hours. chris was the recipient of 4 purple hearts (you'll understand when you see the pictures) :wink:
once the pictures get approved, we'll link them.
sorry everyone else couldn't make it. you all still have an open invite.
