I'll be giving matt some of my pants, and he'll look like he is wearing Capri's...I can't wait!

I think those are called man-pri's!!!!

I have some extra harness's they can have. I just need to know where to send them. I don't think there's anyone heading down to the gorge from Eastern PA anytime soon.

Wes, if you PM me your address, I'll send them to you if that's alright.

So we get to pick with Matt is going to be wearing? awesome, I think I have a bunch of Christmas sweaters some where.

I'm headed back down Fri afternoon, hit me w/ an email or a call this afternoon/evening if you have any questions.

I think we have most everything*** covered for the next few weeks. When we sort through everything this weekend we can come up with another list and get to work on some of the big items that are going to take resource. When all the dust settles, we have to refurnish the shop and 50 toothbrushes won't quite get us there.

***First things that can be covered by those of us here are shoes/harnesses/helmets to get the guiding back up and running.

I'm bringing down 4 pairs of climbing shoes and 1 mens - 1 womans harness Friday evening.

if anyone is heading down, they could use an ink cartridge. there's a link below for the type they'll need. let me know if you can pick it up and bring it down. it's a lexmark x7170 and they could use at least the black ink cartridge.. please let me know if you pick it up so this isn't doubled up

I'm working in local business donations in Lexington.

J & H Lan-Mark is putting together cloths and shoes. Can someone post Matt and Amy's shoe sizes? I gave them pant and top sizes.

Brian at Phil Galls is working on either a gift card or some stuff.

I'm waiting to hear from John's Run/Walk Shop.

Good Food's Market & Cafe gave a $30. gift card and a box of produce. I can keep the produce rolling in and will put out a box for other food as it becomes available or people want to donate.

Larger businesses are tricky as they either have corporate policies or deal with donations via individual stores. Wal-Mart makes annual donations to Red Cross and I suspect Target is the same. I didn't get through to a person.

I called the Stanton Kroger and they had an employee pass away this morning, but will see what they can do in the next couple days.

Businesses with a personal connection to the climbing community, the Gorge and/or RRO seem more than happy to help out. If anyone else has other business connections or ideas give 'em a call or give me the info and I'll keep calling around.

Its great to see this generosity from the businesses in our community during Matt and Amy's time of need. Thank you!

Matt wears an 11.5 or 12 and Amy is a size 9

Oh and Petzl is donating a TON of climbing gear and making other arrangements. The climbing industry is very interested in helping in any way they can. You HAVE to love Petzl.
