oldirty

Where and when?

Just wondering if you were going to post it or if this was a super secret situation. Would love to join in.

 

[DonnyO]

Can't do the 27th its going to have to be the 20th. At a location in the Boston City limits, specifics to be pm'd to those who have shown interest. And of course members of BARC that are in good standing:hmm3grin2orange:

10/20 is good for me. I'll bring an adjustable anchor bridge design I've been tinkering with. Also will have my new folding woods cart which is built to fit in airplane luggage.

Cart under grueling test conditions at 7900 ft. in Colorado:

Maybe we can do some of this:

I have a new climber to bring up, they might be along with me. Looking forward to it.

He must be hanging over at the Buzz' reading about the "Secret Weapon". In the software world they have "Open Source" development (many contributors working to come up with the best solution). Tree climbers have been doing that long before the term open source was invented. I was talking to DonnyO the other day and he was telling about when he showed up at work with a pulley slack tender a long time ago. Everyone laughed at that "stupid little pulley" below his hitch. He may be a crusty old SOB but he's an innovator.

We'll compare secret weapons at the GTG.

I talked to the boss man today. The permit process is underway for that site you suggested moss. Should be a great climb.

 

[nitwit dolt]

20th it is.

Works for me. Let me know. I might know of a couple of other climbers who are interested. Is there a limit to participants?

 

[RhodyFresh]

I dont know how open this is to strangers but I would love to climb with some new faces. If there is room for one more let me know please. I'm only in Rhode Island after all.

 

[OTG BOSTON]

everyone is welcome, anyone who has shown interest will get a pm for DonnyO (its his gig after all, even though I get stuck with the details!)

standard rec climb rules, no saws or spikes, cambium savers a must.

 

[AlpineJesus]

wicked sweet

Maybe I will show, and if you guys are lucky share some of my own climbing innovations.......by the way can I bring a cooler filled with cold brew, I customarily drink heavily over the weekends.

P.S. willing to teach trade secrets for cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon

DonnyO

I need directions...DonnyO hasnt gotten back to me, maybe if someone can forward me the message and directions...

 

[DonnyO]

I may have to add this to my sig line next

Not many people responding to the PM's. looks like me, OTG and moss, with the possibility of rmihalek. The tree is a massive beech which probably suits more advanced climbers anyway.

 

[sloth9669]

sorry

The 20th is junk for me working with some firewood and picking up a new splitter in the afternoon. When you guys are having laughs ill be flyin some chips. Dont give up on me just yet ill make it a point to hit one of these rec. climbs and thank anyone involved for the info and invite. Saw on fellas !!!!

[AdamO]

On it. But are there any of us out there? If you live in southern Connecticut, New York City area, or northern New Jersey, scream it out! I've got no gear, little experience, and a lot of enthusiasm. Work with me.

Start a thread for people in your area. We make it look easy but this group has had lots of growing pains. We're lucky to be in the situation we are in with so many good dedicated rec climbers

It's worth it for the ride. I am from central Jersey and made the trip up but layed over in a hotel afterwards. I just wish I could make the trip more often.

Thanks for the kind words Doug.

I am working on something for TCIA, I'll post it here when I know more.
