Southeastern MP User Trip ??
|
We tried this thing last Fall, but I'm thinkin we got a late start with planning and everybody had their fall climbing trips pretty much locked in and it kinda fell by the wayside... |

I think that Joe Walsh song gets played three times a day every day on the local oldies station. Stone Mountain is great climbing, but not such a good choice for the kind of get-together I think you and Paul have in mind. Unless you camp outside the park, alcohol is out of the question. I'd lean toward 'nooga. I've only done day trips to T-Wall and never really spent the kind of in-depth climbing time there that I'd like to (e.g., the south side; upper tier; etc.). And Sean has never climbed there at all. Plus, the girl at Shuford's knows the right pronunciation for "okra." JL |

I'm thinking I'll be gone by that time of year but if I'm not I'll meet up with you guys. |
|
I'm in, as long as some scheduling conflict doesn't interfere. |
|
I'm allways ready. But, I'm usually at the Y.B. At the end of July thru Aug. 7 I will be at Buzzard Point. Come see! |
|
I'm in. I would prefer NC to TN, but maybe that is just the heat stroke talking. Both are prime in the Fall. Big Green?? |

I ain't skeered to climb at Big Green, I just don't want to lead any of those routes :) |
|
I will try to make it up there depending on conflicting dates, etc. Y'all post something up and hopefully I will be able to make it. October is generally road tripping time of the year... |
|
I'm in to meet up and do some climbing. I'm easily satisfied on location/time. |
|
I was just joking around about Big Green, I don't want an audience when i go there. No one wants to watch a guy shake to death.... |
|
My recommendation and preference for this kind of event would be Looking Glass. Tons of car camping (got to have beer for a good long weekend), tons of wilderness camping, tons of different styles of climbing, reasonable hikes, and not too far from Atlanta (I'm selfish like that). |

That's still just hilarious. :)you drink a few 6 packs of beer, do a little home remodeling to a buddy's house at midnight and no one lets you forget it ;) (please don't let me forget it, i am a dumb ass!) Looking glass is a good suggestion. Paul? Ben? this is y'alls' rodeo? could we pull you away from TN? |
|
Some votes... |
|
I will simplify my ramblings based on the other responses. 3rd weekend in October is currently fine with me, I also veto the 2nd weekend. |
|
Third weekend in October will probably be good for me. |

LG. For some reason want to get back on fat dog. I remember it smelled like piss when we did it and it was a pain in the ass to get down off. But I got to get back and do that route again. I also want to go to RB. I know nothing abt the camping situ tho. Now if its a 3 day trip I wanna go to linville. When is this thing happening and why am i just hearing about it. Ben, wtf? |
|
Contrary to popular belief I have indeed been to T-wall. I've also sampled the fine lines at Sunset, Fosters, BSF, Star Mountain, Tallulah and Yellow Creek. They are all fun, but I still prefer good ole NC. Pick a place, give me notice and I'll endeavor to show up, with some hootch. Pisgah (Cedar, Johns Rock and Looking Glass) has the best combination of routes for all levels, free camping and no alcohol restrictions. |

But just for the alcohol......well, and the climbing of course! OH! And will someone bring RRK? Please? I need to laugh. |
