thin_air_aaron Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) What day would you plan on leaving? Edited November 10, 2005 by thin_air_aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamaker Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 How about leaving Sun or Mon after Thanksgiving and staying away for about 10 days. Possible side trips to Smith, City of Rocks and Oatman, AZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocNoggin Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 what in the world is in Oatman, AZ?? what is the weather like at City of Rocks this time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthly Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The City of Rocks? This time of year? Bad idea. Lived in Montana for a while and found that the City- being HIGH IN ELEVATION- usually has snow from Nov-May. Catch it on a warm day and wear gators/snow boots for approach shoes.... if you can even drive in there. A better bet is to (gasp!* sport climbing is *neither*) hit up the 1000+ short routes nearby at Massacre Rocks. Sunny, warm, belay-from-your-tent kinda place year-round, and it's right off the highway from where you turn to the longer drive to City. Though, true, the City is a dream if the setting is right. I'd be up for a fri-evening-to-thursday-evening around thanksgiving trip to Red Rocks. Know the place well. Would mind Wild Turkey, Epenepherine, etc, if you're in for it.

jhamaker Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Things are popping now. 1280 mi Tacoma to Vegas, 23 hr drive. I'm replacing some of my stoppers w/ tricams and breaking out the helium biners for qd's and slings. Hmm, should I bring rabbits for a longer reach? I can't remember what we used most of for slings last time. Massacre Rocks sounds like a good stopover point. I'll look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
