I just wondering if Reno/Carson/Tahoe taco climbers would be interested in getting together on regular basis once a week, twice a month or so? Also looks like we got more fresh taco blood in town and they are psyched about climbing but don’t have partners. By the way it would be a good way to get those old local farts go climbing again and share some wisdom with fresh blood.
If anybody is interested throw some suggestions about time and place.
My suggestions for place:
1. Silver Peak – nice place, excellent service, happy Silver’s brother;
2. Sierra Gold by South Renown – Happy Hour Half off All Drinks and Pizza everyday 4pm-8pm and 10pm-"gotta go home, my wife is waiting", hot waitresses, 2 min form my place waking;
3. Men’s Club on Lake St. – gotta stimulate that local economy, right ;-).
Time: any day from Tuesday to Thursday at 6 pm.

If you keep it posted here, can I get a guest pass as a Reno-Emeritus/Alum? I travel up and down 395 a fair amount...

You guys in Reno seem pretty close knit, how many serious climbers are there?

I'd be down to meet a night or two per month. Thursday nights are best for me, but not at 6. I wouldn't be available until 7:30ish...

If we could set up time and place for weekly get-together, that would be a start. Maybe some weeks we will get nice company show up and some weeks nobody shows up, who cares it's not a church meeting we trying to start. Eventually maybe we can start local climbing club or something, although that would be totally gay.
BTW anybody want's to go to Tuolumne sometime in October on weekend? I would love to go there once or twice before winter hits. As of right now temperatures are in prime and no crowds since campground is closed. Can't ask for more.

We all serious climbers, we climb 95% of the time and talk 5%... oh... wait... it's the other way around.

Ron recollects his NAMBLA meetings; and how even there, he was considered an idiot.
I totally support the Marlon Brando Look-Alikes.
What's your problem, Pal?

You guys should see if you can get Max off the couch. Maybe he can give a slide show or something. I have his email if you need it.

Ron you only have me by a few years ...I thought it was my job to "a tour of the lower rent carson city hot spots", I 'm feeling unwanted......
Truth is I'll go anywhere and maybe over a few cold ones someone will spark a motivation within me to pursue some grand and excellent adventure.
Regretfully Silver " with all due respect Sir", I'm a Beer Drinking Fool and I don't particularly care for your brothers swill.......I said with all due respect...OK I'll call you tomorrow man.
Reno (as most places I'm sure has about 5 different groups of climbers), everything from ol timers who are hard to get off the couch but can still lead solid trad .10's, to a few ol' timers that were naturally gifted and still push into the Hard, to the weekend warriors both the wannabees and the real up and coming potential hardmen, and the social climbers who spent a few seasons in the valley or wherever, and now climb merely for a mental distraction 20 or less times a year. 'bout sums it up.
So where are we meetin'?

Ok, I'll pitch it for consideration. How about Tuesday at Sierra Gold by South Renown at 6pm. Their Happy Hour rocks, the other day me and Shack had two big ones each and the bill after all was only $10, yeah!!! I really like Silver Peak, but gotta think about Mr. Miller too and it's as close to Carson as anything in Reno ever could be.

Clear Creek. Upper clear creek off the ol road about 2 miles up steep and spectacular. The Genoa side of the same hill, Voltaire Canyon, Back side of C Hill A .11c that has had the crux done but Knott completed through the .8ish wide hands to the summit. Kings canyon waterfall area, Tyrollean traverse, ice climbing and a .9 with broken Glass. Ash canyon about a mile up and to to south. CC is great for Ghetto climbing. Oh yeah what about that ol' Book that some ol' timer put out by the name of RA, Full of classics...and undeveloped areas.
Hey Ron I've been down to the area out of Marklieville(sp) and checked out some sweet long stuff, but there are Private property signs all around ( a private hunting area now) ? Have you put up anything in Pleasant Valley or Know of the current restrictions?

I agree, that would be totally ghey.
Besides,
"I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member." -- Groucho Marx
But I like the idea of a semi-regular get together...
especially if it's Sierra Gold, that is walking distance for me and more like crawling distance for Dalyte!!
But anywhere would be cool, maybe switch it up now and again.
I'll remind Mark if someone reminds me to remind him.

Thanks Ron I think I would go with a Topo before I tried that. Went hiking around down there earlier this year for about two miles up and over little ravines to get up to the base of the rock. A few sweet water falls back there, but honestly had a hell of a time finding which ravine I had left the truck. Finally just allowed one of the Aussies on her own and followed her back through the forests and two ravines and low and behold there was the truck. A good "outside " dawg is a lot better then GPS is some situations.
The blue lakes area is a definite potential area just need to wait into the fall so the crowds slow down, have you checked out the Donner like but larger crag to the west, the other one that has the North face of blue lakes? I have and there looks like some worthwhile stuff.

Between pleasant valley grovers and up round blue lakes, theres got to be five hundred stellar routes waiting for human touch...
Are you guys planning to check out that area more some time on the weekend? I would love to tag along if I may.
