Post Expo rec climb?!

[Tom Dunlap]

IN the next few days I'm going to book my flight to Expo.

Before I do I want to toss out an idea...can a local put together a rec climb for Saturday afternoon and maybe on Sunday? I think Expo pulls up the carpet at about 1pm. Last time Expo was in Hartford there was a rec climb.

On another note...I'm flying solo so is there someone looking for a roomie for Expo? I don't snore either...or sleep walk

rec climb sounds like some fun I would love to join up

2007 TCIA rec climb was hosted by the Byam family in Manchester (next to Hartford), nice double leader white pine in the back yard.

I'm curious about a rec climb. Any chance of setting one up still?

Have a possible location in Manchester, next town over from Hartford. If it happened what day is best? Friday or Saturday?

Just looked at the TCIA schedule, thinking Friday afternoon say 1:00 to whenever. If enough are interested the landowner will be contacted. If they're ok with it would be the same location where we rec climbed TCIA a few years ago, big double trunk white pine and a few hardwoods around it.

I'm in, taking the day off Friday so that would be ideal for me. Thanks for doing the leg work moss!

 

[countryboypa31]

How far is it from the Expo?

 

[treehumper]

Sounds cool but I'm only there on Saturday. Enjoy the climb!

 

[JeffL]

Manchester is close, go right up 384 correct? Couldn't be more than 20 minutes. I might be in!

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Could I borrow a harness, rope and lanyard in case I can go climb?

I'll bring my Unicender and ppe.

Drop me a PM
