Can we make this a sticky? Sounds like a great event.

good call, Andrew.

Josey are you going to help instruct?

sounds like a lot of fun but can you be sure to post where all the groups are going those days?

also are they looking for more instructors?

PM "RRO". You would be an awesome instructor, Joel!

If you want to avoid the crowd, they will be going to the PMRP and camping at Linda's. If you still want to climb at the PMRP that weekend, it would be a great time to carpool. (not that there's ever a bad time to carpool )

FYI: I placed this announcement in RC.com's Beginner forum.

Good job Meadows. We really should post it at the c sharp wall at roadside and Maybe in a few spots a muir if it is ok with the webers. Do we have something made up to post at the gyms.
