How about you @cheecho67 ? Do you think you'll make it?

I've totally slacked on getting back over there. I blame the workout thread... lol

What else is anyone looking to see who's gonna be there? Wondering how much stuff I should pack. I can bring my DRT set up if anyone wants to try.

Bump.

I'm unsure if anyone has as sladder but if anyone is interested in checking out anything specific please speak up. I think @MattMan81 right, it's hard to say what to bring. I know I had something I left home last year someone wanted to check out, my mission maybe? D'oh!

Also if you're interested in a certain climbing or rappelling technique, please ask. It could be as simple as being sure to bring that figure 8 or whatever that might otherwise not make it

I hope to make it next Saturday.....not 100% sure of my schedule. 2023 was my first year of saddle hunting and I've learned a LOT.....but am a stick ascender. Anything you folks have that can be demonstrated 'live' will be appreciated.....one stick, various rope methods, etc.

I'm bringing my DIY one stick and will be happy to demonstrate.

I have an ATC and Marmut 2.0 if someone wants to try rappelling on them. I'm sure someone will have a safe guard. @Horn mentioned setting up a rappelling station. If your new and nervous to try it, I got enough rope we can run a belay system.
