Hello Fellow Woodfords Climbers,

I would like to join the festivities on May 25th. Besides rope, dope, gear, and beer what should I bring? I was thinking firewood and food. What type of food should i bring?

Thanks,

Awesome guys that its finally coming together. 25th is great. Ill arrange for the pork and beans and cook em up. Anything else ill leave up to you guys. Head count ASAP so I know how much to get. I plan on cooking the pig/pork above ground in a "pit" that I make. We just need to find a place now to circle the wagons and do it
Shawn
PM me for any questions or requests

I will also bring a small generator((Honda)
For a little power and tunes.
I would start cooking Friday night to have it ready for late Saturday.

Thanks for checking that spot Kenny. Ill try to head up there in the next week or so and check it out and Ill throw my 2 cents in for "Place O Pig" Will need a little head count soon to get the pig ordered.

Looking forward to this.........FYI it always freaking snows on this weekend.......

I just went up to the area Dan suggested for the party. I think it is the best place to have it with the largest areal for camping etc. It may be a little bit I a bitch to get my trailer up there but I will make it happen. The area is directly across from old bridge that is on the north side of 88. Big flat area that cannot be seen from the highway. Road up to the area is not that bad.
Ron, I'm assuming we would need I get a "fire permit" or they could shut us down? Figured you would know about this.

So I say its a go for this spot.

Bump for the fest.

There is a possibility that the better half and I may make the trip up there - it kind of depends on if I dash to the Valley for the Donini NIAD or not. I won't have the $ to make two long trips in a month.

If we come up, we will probably grab a room in Garbageville very late Friday night and meet up with y'all on Saturday. I haven't been in the Woodfords area since I was a teenager, and never as a climber. Should be interesting.

I'm going to try and get out of here fairly early, but it's about an 8-9 hour drive. Doubt I will be up for much when we get there, but we may head up to Woodfords to nose around.

Is Sharkey's still open? My mom worked there in the early to mid 80s. I remember one night when I was 18 or so, a buddy of mine and I stopped in for some food. Sharkey drug us into the bar to hang out and drink with him haha. Fun times. It's going to be interesting to be back up in that area; I spent part of my younger years living and going to school in Walker. Haven't been there since the early 90s.

Great times, great people, and I still need an army to finish the pig. It was great to see soooo many generations of climbers up there sharing our passion.
The accident was unfortunate and Im glad to hear he had no serious injuries......he's gonna be sore for a while.
Many people said it was a wake up call for them to wear a helmet on the ground as well.

During the medical treatment of him a harness was probably thrown in to a pack by mistake. If you find it let me know so I can get it back to him.

Will post up some pictures later as I need to get some pig juice off of me and hit the shower.

Thanks everyone for a great time and hope to do it again next year............

Hi all, this Brian from Gardnerville. I was being belayed by Jim when he got hit by the rock.
Jim is banged up and pretty scraped up too, but nothing was broken and he is up and around but sore as hell. We are so great full for all the help getting Jim down. We were having such a great time up until then. Sorry about getting Tyler's harness in the confusion. We will be taking it to REI on Tuesday and drop it off there. I left couple of slings and binders at the top of the climb I was doing, someday I am sure I will get them back.

Hey all!

Christina and I just got back to the home place, after some great climbing in the Alabama Hills today. I wanted to jot down a couple lines here real quick, before I go back to cleaning up the junk show that is our Jeep at the moment.

First off, thank you SO much for putting on a stellar event. Shawn and Dan, thanks for the time you spent cooking and the time you have spent developing a wonderful area. Kenny T, this area is magical - keep up the great work.

It was so awesome to finally meet Ron in person, and was a huge surprise to see Mouse make an appearance - happy bday Mouse, sorry we didn't have time to talk more.

I'm really glad to hear that Jim is going to be OK - please pass on my best wishes. Jim took a huge hit, and as he was dropping, he gripped that rope as hard as he could and fell onto it. That man can belay for me anytime - he is the definition of a world class belayer.
Tyler, thanks for your assistance. Tyler took over the belay, got Jim's partner lowered, and helped get Jim stabilized. When I asked Tyler to run and get my big med kit, I swear he was back in 5 minutes. Everyone there did an amazing job making sure Jim was well taken care of.

It was a great time, in an amazing area, with great people both on and off the Taco. Can't wait for the guide book, and I really hope we can do this again next year - Christina and I will be there!

Edit to add; I brought a couple special guests with us. I had my "Paul's Ball" with me, and left Paul with an awesome view of the canyon on top of a great new 5.7. On Saturday, I also took along Ian's Sticht plate, and it worked as well as new.

Ron - first off, thanks for the guide, it's still the best guide we've got so far. After seeing an actual copy of the guide at Woodfest, I think you should consider doing a super hi-res scan of your topos to replace the .pdf online. The online version has really small print and if you try to make the image bigger before printing, it's totally unreadable.

Just a thought.
