Hey is it time to start Tuesday Night Offwidth yet?

Last year's TNO list:

Alright, I like the sound of that! We had a Saturday morning OW session last weekend that took a few days to recover from...probably means I need more Tuesday nights to get in shape!

The days are probably still a bit short for people hoping to make it after work. But if some people can get there a bit earlier and string a rope, it might work out.

I'm not sure if I can make it out next Tuesday or not, but I haven't been on the Umph Slot in many months...or did you have something else in mind?

I'm game to give it a try and could probably make it early. I'll bring the purp and greenie.

I am SOOOO in, I'll start saving up for that # 6!

I'd love to try and join in on some of this madness this season!

I've got a #5 to add to the quiver.

Well where to?

Umph Slot!!

Always a good one to start out on, but we've done it a few times in the past, so maybe someone else has a better suggestion. And when? The 19th, 26th ... orrr...

Awesome - keep us posted on the details! The sooner the better.

I've only made it to one of these and it was fun.

I'll have to try to make a couple more this year. And I got lots o' big gear.

Hell yeah! I'm down any Tuesday (usually). I get let out at 5:30

I'm game, and can usually be wherever by 430-ish. Looking forward to it. - Sean

I'll make it to the occasional one, but Umph slot is less interesting than something I haven't already done 40 times... But I'm occupied this Tuesday anyway so it doesn't matter.
So yeah- kick it off, get up there to Umph, get things going, and keep the list of destinations updated. I'll pop in now and then when it sounds good.

Yeah, let's head up to Umph this Tues (4/12), weather permitting. We're always open to other suggestions, but the options are unfortunately limited for routes that are viable for an evening session.

I should be able to get out there a bit early on Tuesday -- probably 4-ish at the earliest. Anyone else able to meet early? Does anyone want a go at leading it? If not, I'll probably just rap in and drop a toprope on Umph. If enough folks are interested, we could throw a rope on Super Squeeze as well. The logistics of all this get a little tricky as both routes start a pitch off the ground. I think we've done just Umph Slot with a 70 from the ground, so that's a simpler option I guess.

The "first pitch" is easy enough that some people solo it (I prefer a rope). We usually have a rope hanging to belay people up as well. If you have a simple TR-rope-solo rig, you might bring it to make things easier to get to the start of the route. Most people will want something to clip into an anchor with (sling, daisy chain, etc.) while they wait for their turn to suffer.

I recommend dreaded climbers avoid super squeeze...

I can meet at 4 at the bridge weather permitting but it looks good. I have two 70m ropes but would only like to bring one out. Let me know.

sounds like a party

Jason Antin · · Golden, CO · Joined May 2009 · Points: 1,405

I'll have to check the work schedule, but I can most likely make it!

I think I can make it at 4:00 on the bridge.

Just a heads-up that the MP Denver Climbers Happy Hour is tomorrow night as well (and the climbing book club at my place is tmrw too). So I won't be able to get this TNO if it happens, but would love to plan on something for the 26th.

"matt.l.b" -- will you bring your 70? I'll meet you at the parking around 4, and we'll go set this thing up. I'm thinking we keep it simple for tonight, and not bother with Super Squeeze. With the 70 we should all be able to hang out on the ground and not deal with the logistics of running two climbs that start a pitch off the ground.

Sounds good. I'll have both of them in the truck.
