New and Experienced Climbers Over 50 Rendezvous 2021

Hello!  New to the group.  Would love to experience City of Rocks with new and fun people!  

I can vouch for the Pixee girl. She's spent many days on the rocks putting up with my annoying personality.

Added in dates for June and September to first post! Make your reservations soon, if you are wanting to come in June! The place is filling up fast.

Please join us.  There is space in campsite 33 for a trailer or tent starting June 26. You can private message me if you need more information.

Thank you Brandt.... but I do believe it’s the other way around...

For folks thinking about attending: some folks arrive on June 22, more around the 26th, staying until early July (1-4). So almost a two week window to try to fit a visit into if you are thinking about going to City of Rocks.
Some folks with RVs are staying at Smokey Mtn (water & elec for RVs, flush toilets, showers). Other folks up in the City in sites 33-35, 54 & 55.

There is also the new City of Rocks RV Park. Several stayed there last year.

I'm in a site near Bath Rock, arriving June 24, departing July 6. Looking forward to meeting loads of friends, new and, uh, old, both! And that climbing thing. I'm hoping to do better than one ish pitch per ten days. Sheesh.

Bringing the swimsuit for the pool, too! 

Best, Helen

Reservations for June dates are mostly filled! Get 'em while you can, if that's the stretch you want to be there. Tweaking the dates nets a few more open sites, but not much.

Rain here. A rare most of the day rainy day, gray and gloomy. Boise's honorary membership in the PNW, lol! I'm so glad the sunny days vastly outnumber the gloomy ones!

Best, Helen

For those deciding too late to make reservations there are a lot of dispersed camping options just outside COR. This info came from the COR website. Chances are I'll be "commuting" in to the group site to meet up on a daily basis.

Joe, and others:  There is still space at site #33 for June.  Just let me know when you're arriving and I'll save a spot for you.  Still room for 2 tents and 2 trailers.

You guys still allowing underaged climbers w/ high amounts stoke and instruments? Would be awesome to climb with you all again either in June or September 

I need a rope gun!

Hey Gabe, since you we're with us in September, you've got a hall pass.  Come on down.

Haha anytime! Looking forward to hearing some more stories.

Hey, a few have asked.

As of today, there are a few individual sires here and there for the June date, at least that first weekend.

Arriving on Friday, 4 and 24 are still available. Arriving on Saturday, 28, 40, 44, and 64 are still available. 

Speak up if you are anticipating being in one of the spots that are already reserved! Idaho Bob has graciously agreed to ride herd on the three adjacent ones, even though one is in my name. I am up the road, by Bath Rock, myself. 

Camping reservations, for those who want their own, or whatever:

I so, so, so look forward to seeing everyone who can make it! 

Best, Helen

As of today, January 15, site 33 has room for one additional small trailer/camper van, site 34 has room for one trailer/camper van and site 35 has space for one tent.

PM'd you about site 35 Bob. 

I need to be there to fight Jay for my rope gun.

Can I put a tentative hold on one of the camper/trailer sites? Things are starting to fall into place - yay!

Sure, there is space for you in site #33, and I've added you to the list.
