Not really, Roger just saw a discovery channel special on the Eiger Norwand and bought a bus ticket...one way. He came from Ohio and had never even seen a cliff before.

That is amazing.

"She's my bivy baby she climbs 5.10
Takes a fall, gets on the wall again
She's my bivy baby she carries my rack
Then at night jumps in my bivo-whack-sack"

forgot the chorus...

"She's my bivy baby, we'll bivy all night long"

While this site is great to chat and get advice, I have to go with everyone else. Just get your ass to the Red and never look back. Enjoy every second of it and don't take it for granted. Living at the Red was the best decision I ever made. The advice I got when I first moved there was:
1.) Don't be a douche bag
2.) Use a condom
3.) Always pay your camping fee on time, or early
4.) Always help out around the Shop, even if you aren't working for them, the Ventura's aren't your momma.
5.) Don't be a douche bag
Everything else will fall into place. Have an amazing time you lucky lucky bastard.

You need to work on the beer you drink. If you can aquire the taste for "steel reserve" or "king cobra" everyone will respect your dirtbag discipline and give you "insanity"kudos! Trust me, no one will be bumming beer off of you. Plus you won't be spendin all yo cash on beer. I don't think even dirtbag aaron could stand to drink more than two of those a night. When you get up in the morning use whats left over in the bottle for your cereal and to brush your teeth.
Watch out for Kenton, he has a stinky pinky.
Don't talk to strange(r)s.
Don't go buggin Miguel with a bunch of questions. When you pay for your camping pay for it directly to him so he knows youre paying. Drink some coffee and be quiet. He might decide to talk to you.
Don't be mackin on nobodys gurl...had an ass-full of hearing about that drama.
Don't camp in the swampy area. Look around, you'll see which areas get swampy.
Don't camp near the pond, the bullfrogs will keep you up all night.
Don't camp near the fire pit, those jacklegs will keep you up all night. You want your campsite to get some sun during the day, if not everything will start to mold/mildew.
Don't bring a bunch of food. Kids come down all the time with too much shit and then they abandon it. When a group leaves make sure that there is a free/donation box so they can dump their shit off and you can go through it. Don't be greedy though. theres others who are trying to make it,too.
Don't get suckered into driving all the time. The leeches that hang around that joint will let you spend all your money hauling them around. Remember, Grass,Gas or ass. Nobody rides for free!
The only thing you really gotta Do is have fun

I will bum steel reserve on special occasions, but only on special occasions.

Go west if you have the time & wheels. It's too hot here in the summer anyway.

if I am not mistaken, you are usually the one to buy the steel reserve

Thanks for the great advice everyone. And Dustonian I will be headed west at the end of november as long as the wheels will take me there.
