W.L.,
I'll be driving from northern California on Thursday directly to the Refuge. I'm not bringing anyone with me and couldn't find any of my guidebooks for Red Rock Canyon, so all suggestions about how to find toprope-solo routes will be very welcome.

This is going to be an awesome weekend. Looking forward to it!

South winds and 10 degrees above normal on friday, but then the mercury plunges.
At least 10 degrees below normal by monday.
Sorry guys, looks like the cusp is upon us.
And days are getting short. What time do they allow starting the Brownstone Wall approach (which I care not to reverse in the dark again).
At VoF I get to camp among the crags with stone's throws approaches.
RR is better in late spring.
But burn a few for me, cheers.

Hey all, Weston and others,
I talked with Jim D. a few days ago and letting you know now too: I cannot make it after all.
I am SO bummed. My parents are in a critical situation with Dad dying very soon. At first I felt self pity for missing out on the trip but of course I feel silly now with that notion. This is a time I've been called to duty and many of us go through that anyway at some point in life. Yeah its a burden but also an honor to serve such a great man right now.
So carry on and have a great time together. I'll be back at it this spring and hope we can arrange another Red Rocks get together. Really sorry to miss the slide show too.
Cheers,
Arne

Take care.

Talked to Jim this morning, he's stoked and on the way in (might be here by now.) He's interested in climbing tomorrow if anyone has the time, I have to work so if you're free let me know and I will pass it along.
Bad news for me on the physical front...was trying to show off to the wife last night and demonstrate a door jam pull up and was rewarded with a loud POP from my right hand. Looks like I tore my A4 pulley.
Still going to climb this weekend, but after that it looks like I am probably going to be out for part of the winter season. I'm pretty bummed, but still stoked to meet and see everyone!

WL, I'm stoked to be meeting you. Looks the four of us in the Burch3ypool should be in around midnight tonight. Not sure what we have planned on Friday, but my shoulders are kind of F'ed up so I am planing to be carefull and avoid hanging off my arms. I am bring my KT tape though. Stuff seems to help along with the physical therapy.
Vegasclimber. Depending on how I hold out, perhaps I could join your merry band of miscreant climbers on Saturday. Would be cool to do a longer, easy going route. I have rope and a rack...but it's all good either way.
