In reply to: How often do you visit Paradise? I like to venture out there on Wed/Thurs nights for 2-3 hours
In reply to: or Tues/Thurs during lunch for a quicky. If you're in need of a partner for Paradise, call or PM.
A "quicky" during lunch is definitely different than hitting Subway or Wendy's. And as discussed a few posts earlier in this thread, a partner is usually recommended for "quickies".

Although I have plans to hit the gym tonight, the sun outside says otherwise. "Come climb on the rocks. We are dry now..."

Shorty, It was good climbing with you last night at the BRC. You were the only oft poster to this thread that I hadn't climbed with yet. Good fun and I hope we can climb again soon.

In reply to: P.S. -- I forgot the best part. All this for 14 %&#@ dollars! Schweeeet!
HA! You actually paid the $14?!?!?! You need to take haggling lessons from Kyle. He managed to get 1/2 off. With the help of Kim, he almost got 2/3 off. We'll have to get kim to show a little more thigh next time and maybe she can get you all in for free.

Holly, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And I won't bother to mention what I had to show to get my half off membership. :wink:
And to Kyle and Brad---Sure, sure. BRC may be a bit ghetto now. I like to think of the spinning holds as adding another "dynamic" element to the climbs. But just wait another couple months. We'll have to have a climb off. (curses! Now I have the theme from 'West Side Story' running through my head. argh!)
Have a safe trip to Atlanta, Kyle!

Thanks Kim, hotlanta humidity here I come... blech. On the whole BRC thing, I can undertand the ghetto-like conditions. They've got their hands full with the renovation, be interesting to see what its like when they're done.
BTW, cool slide show Amber.
Have fun gang, see you next week.

Actually, my beef was that the guy at the front desk obviously knew I hadn't been to BRC since winter. There was no mention of construction, of limited climbing, or the lack of restrooms/lockers. He could have said something, but he didn't. He could have given me a discount, but he didn't.
When I walk into R&J sometime over the next few weeks, the owners will greet me by name -- even before I hand them my I.D. card (and no, it's not "Hi, butthead"). And I haven't been to R&J since February or March. That's customer service, and that's why I like R&J.

Hey Brad - we are going to have to meet at R&J north sometime.. bustinmins and I were there last night. Always fun!!
I don't see what the draw is at BRC right now. Let them do the work and then head back... They would probably be finished earlier if they didn't have all you guys there all the time ;-)

Yeah, The draw to the BRC for me is that I have a membership there and it's 3 blocks from my place. Of course, climbings free outside!

Oh dude, I'm so-o-o irritated. I bought the annual rock climbing pass for Clear Creek Canyon off the internet. Wasn't cheap, either. But at least they threw in some great schwag with the pass. I now have a low-rate credit card (only 28.9%!), more hair, and a fuller bustline. I just can't wait to see my new beach front property in Florida.

Mother_Sheep and shelf road crew, Tristan and I are going to camp Friday night, so be on the lookout.
If any one else is interested I'm thinking of hiking Longs on Sun?

Not to drag out the BRC versus RNJ discussion, but just thought I'd give ya'll an update. BRC is going to have the new lead wall they've been constructing open and set on Monday. And the rest of the construction--new bouldering section, etc--is supposed to be completed by 1 Nov.
So there will at least be some new routes/walls for Monday. :)

If anyone is going to be around Sunday, I am planning on hitting Devil's Head (as usual) that day. If I can't find partners, it sounds like people will be down at Shelf. Do you guys know where you are planning on climbing Sunday? I wouldn't mind climbing at the Darkside if it's warm out, but I am up for pretty much any crag at Shelf.

Gary - I'm trying to get Calypso before the Eldo season gets too cold - How is the Platte in Late OCT and Early NOV? Doable?

JD, I did Calypso last Feb. with snow on the ground. If you do it around noon you get warm fuzzy sun. No hurries man!

Hey James, I climbed in the Platte lots last winter. Just look for those sunny routes. If the thermometer reads 45 and up its nice. And if you're climbing cracks, even colder! It just depends on what you can tolerate. :-)
Vince,
Austin has a party tonight. We may not leave until the morning or we may leave town around 7:00. Are you camping at Sand Gulch? Waht kind of car do you drive?
Todd/Jeff/sfmedic. . .you guys srtill in?

Just depends on the year, but generally the climbing is good through October. The real problem with DH is that Rampart Range road closes, generally sometime in October.

Shelf is a GO for me. I will be a cactus early. I will stop by the sand gulch campground on the way by. Keep a eye out for a red wrangler.
Keep an eye on the weather for this area. As of 9:30 this morning forcast is for rain until late sat evening. FYI

Kool, Tristan is excited about camping so I'm not backing out of this one. As far as camp sites go, I'm not sure where the best ones are in that area. BTW I drive a little red escort. 8^)

Wanna share a site? We'll be rolling in kind of late (if we come in tonight) but we can get the boys rolling together at breakfast. You should snag a site at Sand Gulch (The 1st campground). It is more open than the Bank.
Actually, since Sand Gulch is soo open, we can just get our own site. I forgot that it's only $4.00 to camp there too.
