Radical.... sounds like a great offshoot to the annual ST_shiittalkers_fest™™™ in the Valley. The last couple of turnouts were pretty sad... like me, Sooze, Baba, Epic Ed, and Shack. We can do better.

Vedauwoo has the advantages of free camping and allowing the discharge of Ron's heavy artillery.
Definitely potential there.

The difference between trad climbers and sport climbers.... Trad climbers pee in the pool and laugh about it, sport climbers pee in the pool and drink the water. Go figure?

there is a rumor of a sortie from the bay area to the Ved sometime this summer
those of you sick enough to read down this far in the thread could send email to any of the well know wide characters to get plugged into the rumor mill...

It would be hard to beat a Devils Tower or Vedawoo tour with the motley crew. Depending on the dates, I would be willing to commit. Would this be late summer?

on old fighting ships the surgery in the sick bay was painted blood red, so the spilled blood didn't frighten the unanethsetized patient-sailors...
...of OW it would probably be a good idea to have the tee-shirts major color blood red...

No stinkin shirts are gonna get you up any off-width.
It takes pure discipline and good technique to survive.
Got discipline and technique?

Werner you have it all wrong.... it is all about the shirt. Was Superman Superman without the tights?
Was Batman Batman without the cape?
Didn't think so.... without the shirt, the OW crew is just a bunch of soft bleeders
with no hope. But with the shirt, ah-ha! They are a fearsome band of
wide crack marauders, still just as soft, and still just as leaky, but the psyche
is there.... lose the shirt, and lose the psyche.... lose the battle while on the approach.
OW is in your mind man.... if you think you can do it in a particular shirt, your chances
of actually doing the route go up by 14.3%. Of course the chance of doing the routes
starts at about zero so it will be a thin summit party, but none the less, the shirt is all
important.... what size do you wear???
This is a good OW look:
or this OW model:

my best time is probably the first week (8/6) of Aug or the last (8/27) but I have a leeway...

Team wide,
"state liquor store" is not a concept in big wonderful. Private enterprise + license, and they are all drive through.
It's never too hot to climb in the shade in Vedauwoo, deto is another matter, but it cools down in August, kinda.
Though Vedauwoo does get afternoon showers @ times, I've never lost a day of climbing to it (maybe 12" rain/yr) could snow in late Aug, though.
I would lean toward mid August but am flexible. School (my job) probably starts last week of Aug, so I'm voting for earlier than that.

I know the Valley hardmen can climb the hard hands w/o getting gobis.
But I've never met one that didn't have a collection of shredded shirts and scarred shoulder blades!
I guess the color of the shirt is incidental if the back of it is ripped clean off!

The rule the Romans used for putting in a road, especially up hills, was to load a donkey (125 lbs) and mark its path as it was driven up the hill.
How many pounds do you want us to use for this trail?
