COL._Von_Spanker Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 My extended thanksgiving starts soon (november 22-December 1) and I am driving to California. Objectives, (not in order of priority): 1. Hang out with my brother in Long Beach 2. Rock Climb at J-Tree 3. Climb Icey Stuff, Alpine Ice, or other frozen water. 4. Stop at the Toronado in SF for many beers I've never climbed in the Sierra's, or California for that matter so I don't know shit. I'm curious if any alpine stuff can potentially be good this time of year. I'm open to any other suggestions of fun activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if V and U notch couloirs will still be in this late in the season due to the warm and dry season thus far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COL._Von_Spanker Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 so does anyone know anyone that will be in Jtree at that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Yep Col., I've got a whole crew of friends who will be at JT over Thanksgiving, and a few who will be there longer. Think of it as Rope-Up but only about half the people. I'll PM you some contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing is that Anchor Steam is always on tap and cheap in SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
