Darn it! How do I edit the post title? Mt. Woodson not Mr. Woodson!

This thread is continued from: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=989279&msg=1034670#msg1034670.

This should be better/cooler (temp) than the last! The date is set: March 19, 20, 21, 2010 up at Mt. Woodson. Come one come all yet also looking for those that attended the last shindig in '07 and those that attended the contests in 1986 and 1990! This should be a historic event for Woodson's history and a chance for the young and old to come together and enjoy what we all can't seem to get enough of! 

So, we have so far:

1. Gary aka illusiondweller
2. Brad aka Beehay
3. Porkchop_express
4. Bob aka BVB
5. mungeclimber

kill the thread and repost before it gets too many responses....
it's the only way to edit the OP title...

do it now before it's too late! or Mr. Woodson Shindig it will be... of course, you could just keep it like that...


and I'd try to arrange a visit... great place and you were quite the gracious host, illusiondweller, many thanks for showing me and Gary around last year

I would certainly be there. Probably wrapped in aluminum to protect me from all the conspiracies.

You have to make sure Rick P. (aka Mr. Woodson) shows again, and this time Rick has to stick around for a while!


Edit: perhaps I can convince the Knuth brothers to show, that would be awesome.

grew up in poway and climbed woodson quite a bit in high school once i had a car...hitching to ramona seemed sketchier back then
only met/climbed with lydia, mostly bouldered alone
didn't have the funds or car soph year, was bummed to miss 86

I showed up to Woodson one spring day in '07 for a normal day of climbing only to find a bunch of old dudes tearin' the place up... it was pretty cool. Everyone was pretty nice even though nobody knew us. Might try to make it out to this one too... but only if I can get bvb to autograph my Stars and Stripes!
