Let's say, for sake of argument, I have $100. I have also have zero obligations for the summer.

Theoretically, how difficult would it be to live out of my tiny sedan and work in the area of the Red without sacrificing time climbing?

I haven't done it personally, but I don't think it'd be too hard and I know people who have done it under similar circumstances.

You can probably find work at Miguel's or the Rockhouse, depending on your kitchen skillz (heh, heh). Living out of your car or a tent at Miguel's is 2$/night (60$/month). There are also some local adventure related businesses (ziplining, thrillsville, etc) that might hire you.

You'd be able to climb whenever you weren't working.

I'll add that I believe camping is free at miguels if you work there. I could be wrong about that. but yeah, it shouldn't be insanely difficult.

JD I've heard the same. If you wanna work there you really need to jump on it now though
