A group of us from UK are planning on going to HP40 for Thanksgiving weekend. Anyone else planning on heading down that weekend? It would be fun to have a group of Gorge climbers there.

That's like 5 months away! I'm not sure where I'm going this weekend.

Can you actually plan that far ahead?

hp40 is Horse Pens 40, an amazing bouldering area in Alabama. Some people say the best slopers this side of the Atlantic and second only to Font.

I'm wanting to go but something about family wanting to see me and all.

lordjim: Sure, when it is a holiday weekend. Can let the family down gently ahead of time.

Check Dr. Topo for info. It is in NE Alabama and is only a short 6-8 hour drive drive from Lexington.

Steele, AL - close enough to civilization yet still in the middle of nowhere
