Since we learned that the Boulder "Happy-Hour" organizer was going to be in our neighborhood, it seems like a Idaho party is a good idea.
Heidi & I are planning on a "Meet & Greet" Happy hour, with us supplying some water, beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres.
City of Rocks Campsite #20 at 7:00 PM on Tuesday July 3rd.
If you plan on attending?? please RSVP on this thread, or if you don't want the world to know------shoot me a PM. I need to get a handle on quantity of snacks & drinks!
We are requesting no dogs at this event-----please!

HossJulia: We'd love to have you attend. Plenty of evening shade at site 20. We just learned our friend Stein Sitzmark, who we had invited to stay with us, is staying with two climber-babes instead. They are attending, but if someone wants to share our large camp, (their own tent or van, no dogs please) they are welcome.
Oh! fellow campers can't express displeasure with my loud snores during the night!
Skully! The attendee list is done in the order that the beings committed to attending the party. If in order of importance to the party: Pente would be first!

I've only climbed at CoR once, for two days. Then it rained. Are people planning on being there for four or five days before/during/after the 3rd? In other words, will there be people I can belay and stuff? And what about camping - would I need to make a preservation?
I don't know whether I can make it, but it may be possible.

Sorry, but dogs are excluded.
We climbed on Monday afternoon and got to meet with Donini and scuffyb.
We climbed hard on Tuesday morning and early afternoon (I'm a mass of bruises and sore muscles), then took a shower and checked phone & emails in Almo and climbed again late afternoon.
I lost the climbing camera for the day and just accepted "Donini-climbing-punishment."
Back in camp on Tuesday evening we got to see a true example of "team-building!"

Relic - not Pente - she's only about 8 years old. Her predecessor Puma was also a traveling rock climbing cat (having the only Feline Ascent of a dome in Tuolumne. Pente got tooled on and attempted ascent in Tuolumne though on a leash). I'll have to ask BrassNuts about Puma in Yosemite. She was B.C. (before Crimpergirl). :)

Uhhh...."thread drift?"
I may not be able to make the Greet and Meet after all, due to very dry and soon-to-be-hot weather; I need to get on with my haying operation.
This isn't a firm cancellation, but a thought that's been on my mind.

It was "mildly breezy" Monday & Tuesday nights at The City, and I shivered in the shade whenever it overtook me on Tuesday.
Mark, one of my old climbing buddies who hasn't climbed in years, went to The City with Heidi and me, and I warmed him up on Monday, then Donini kindly put the rope up on some harder routes on Tuesday for us.
Mark gamely tried everything, as did Heidi.
Wednesday morning, Mark, Heidi, and I went back to pleasant 5.6 & 5.7 climbing, but Mark was getting a little played out. I think he is ready to replace his vintage 1978 RR Verappes too.
It was great to meet other friends of Donini’s that post on ST, and socialize with them.
Ionlyski (Arne) from Kalispel, his wonderful wife April, and their two talented, polite, & hot-climbing teenagers were fun to see climbing and pleasant to talk with.
TWP from Mancos is a hoot to be around, and a good climber too.
Donini’s classy & beautiful wife Angela had driven up for the event along with his Ouray friend Roger. Both are great people and very good climbers.
The people made up for the nasty evening wind & chill!
Crimpergirl! I'm sure that takes care of the cold weather. 82 F. there today.

I have spent much of the last two weeks at City of Rocks, climbing with Donini, Heidi, and other friends.
This weekend! I'll see what I can do for whitewater-training with my beginning IK (inflatable-kayak) students. One of them is the permit holder for our late July Middle Fork Salmon trip.
As I have learned: it is self-defeating to kill or injure the permit-holder before the river-trip.
Monday: I'm back to City of Rocks to hopefully meet up and climb with Locker, his friends, and Brokedown.
Most important is the: July 3rd City of Rocks: Meet & Greet for Brassnuts, Crimpergirl, Pente, and other wonderful people.
If you want to attend!
Please reply, or private message me through ST for the City of Rocks July 3rd Meet & Greet!

When did they reopen Twin Sisters?
I last climbed the Sisters like 15 years plus ago. My second or third time. Last time I remember they were off limits, "banned".
Something stupid about polluting the view-shed with climbers. But once they closed it, I followed the closure.
One of the nicer routes in the COR, and the actual route is on the opposite side of the view-shed...
When did it get reopened? Or did it?

I got to COR late Monday, and we drove out to Twin Sisters early Tuesday for some warmup climbs we like. Talked to your friends that were loading up, and they told us you were off to Morning Glory. We had camped just above there.
Next time for sure!
We did get to climb and party with Locker and his friends!

Woot! Woot! This will be my first "fly & climb" vacation trip! I've been pruning down the weight of my equipment to a bare minimum, and will be airborne early tomorrow morning. I'll be buying my ice and beer in Burley, as well as propane for my Coleman camp stove. Should be a blast. From Casper to Burley, ID: 2:45 hours flying time, versus 9:30 hours driving time. I finally found a source for a rental car, too!
The smoke is greatly reduced this morning, and airport visibility reported as 10 statute miles. Yesterday it was below VFR minimums at 2.5 miles (3 miles is necessary for VFR). I'll be cruising at 10,500 feet above ground level (AGL). I'll briefly climb to 12,500 feet to clear some mountains in Utah before descending to Burley.

It was a fun time in "the city." Thanks to all participants for being wonderful people!
Brassnuts & Crimpergirl brought their really pleasant climber-friends Dan & Michelle to the party, but since they have-not been active on ST, we granted them immmunity on being photographed.
Somehow, I didn't end up with a party night photo of our hot-climbing Idaho friends Kim & Pete.
That's OK! The party continued last night.

Bump! I just arrived home after a very difficult flight due to weather considerations. The GOOD NEWS is it's raining here in Wyoming!! Woot, woot!
The Flight Service Station operated by Lockheed-Martin called the weather a Monsoon flow, which is great for all the fires, but grounded my return until very late. I arrived in Casper at 2156 hrs, exactly 4 minutes before the Fixed base Operation closed for the night; I did get my airplane towed inside out of the weather as a result.
It's too late for me to do any pictures, but tomorrow...

This was actually more than a "meet and greet," since many groups took off on various climbs the next day: Skully & Brian in SLC ent their way, and Fritz, Heidi, hossjulia, and I went over to the east face of Bath Rock for our fun activities. The temperature (by City of Rocks standards) was too high for many tastes by noon on the 4th, and the fun in camp continued.
We all enjoyed the Boulder contingent, and Pente, the supermodel cat in her finery!

Brokedown! Glad you made it home without encountering "cumulogranite" clouds enroute!
Indeed! There was climbing, but I didn't take photos, except while walking in we noticed Brass Nuts & Crimpergirl on a rather difficult route on Parking Lot Rock: Cairo 11a.
The afternoon was a bit warm, and after a very late lunch, we bid Scully & Brian farewell, and Brokedown, Stein, Hossjulia, Heidi, & I sought shade in camp.
We discovered that Michelle had got something in an eye, that camp medicine could not cure. Crimpergirl had to drive her to the county hospital in Burley, where the problem was sucessfully treated.
Cocktail hours started early with the mandatory "here's to cheating death" toast.
Pete & Kim arrived back from a day of climbing hard and we worked up a yummy shared dinner party.
Stein warmed up the crowd by showing us how much fun the straitjacket could be.
Kim agreed that restraint was needed so she could Houdini out of the straitjacket. She couldn't.
Then the hula-hoops came out.

I had a fabulous time, thanks to Fritz & Heidi, Crimpergirl & Brassnuts, Stein, Kim & Pete, BrianSLC, Skully, Brokedown, et all. The giant key lime pie was amazing. Pente was precious. So cute.
The night of the 4th was a hoot. I noticed the over 50 crowd was the loudest in camp. (Promptly done at 10 mind you.) Playing with a straitjacket, wide angle SLR and hoops to classic rock. Really loud classic rock. Great "pot-luck", and not a "merican flag in site. yah-hoo.
Had not climbed there for 20 years, and sure enough, part way up both top-ropes, I vividly remembered them. Fun stuff.

I just got an email from Kim. She noted that it rained all day on July 5th-----the day we bailed!
I am fairly good at predicting Idaho weather.

Rained hard yesterday afternoon too. Made for some forced rest and happy hours. And got Michelle to let her poor eyeball heal. I will post up a photo of her eye when I get home. It was awful! Thanks again Fritz and D. W e had such a great time!

If you ever feel like expounding on "traveling with a cat", I'm all ears. My wife and I face this dilemma a lot, I mean get the neighbors to feed the little dears or one of us stays at home.

Sooo, cats allowed but no dogs, huh?
Is that just because Pente was family of the guests of honor?
Looks fun there at the COR, never been.

Pente was one of the Guests of Honor, and requested no dogs at her party.
I was jest honoring her wishes.

I just gotta ask:
What's with the cat?

I'm much more frightened by the straight jacket photos than wondering about the cat.....
Cat is beautiful and has a fur coat. Does not need clothes!

Hey, Jefe...if you ever make it out our way, I could show you around a bit.
Glorious place, it is. It's even better when you're hangin' with glorious people. Like these monkeys. They rule.

Fritz and Heidi are to be commended for their generosity and willingness to do these "outreaches!" We all had a blast, and enjoyed meeting Pente.

Got home and am darting off to Chicago, but want to take a second to again thank Heidi and Fritz. It was so very nice of them! Hoping BN can get some photos up in the next few days!

Many thanks to the crew for organizing a really fun event! It was great to meet everyone and spend a little time socializing in The City!
