Howdy y’all,
I haven’t been to the New in some time and I’m craving a good climbing weekend. The plan is to leave Friday afternoon and get to the campsite (American Alpine Club Campground) in the evening and get stoked for the day of climbing. We’ll climb all day Saturday (pies and pints for dinner???). Camp one more night, and climb most of the day Sunday, leaving around 3-4 to get back around 7-8pm, or whatever the group is feeling.
Depending on how many people sign up, and what everyone wants to do, we could be one large group or split up to different crags.
Additionally, if enough people want to leave early Saturday morning, instead of Friday night, one car could do that.
Here are the crags I’m thinking of for each day (I’m open to suggestions to change them):
Saturday: Sandstonia
Sunday: Junkyard Wall or Cotton Club
Other options: Beer wall, Kaymoor slabs, Fantasy Area, Bridge Buttress, Summersville lake, or anywhere you think is cool.
