the south has amazing rock … yes. but the conditions. rain, heat and humidity make good climbing conditions hard to come by in the southeast. actually anywhere on the east coast for that matter. CO: 300+ days of sunshine. very little rain. the snow that falls on the Front Range melts quickly. keep telling yourself it’s better where you are. it worked for me the first 10 years of my climbing life too. get your thumb squared away narc, then come play!

Hey RJ, Colorado’s Front Range gives you 12 months of ROCK climbing, the snow doesn’t hang around, and south or southwest facing walls, warm up to short and T-shirt temps quite quickly. Narc, you left out Vedauwoo, WY., outside Laramie.
Cheers!

take heart ol’ chap: they say open handing crimps is better than crimping them. no thumbs required. more often than not on steep climbs [i.e. basement wall] i find myself holding even the smallest edges openhanded now. it is natural to roll into a crimp on less steep terrain, but thumbs are overrated. think about the nexus between disability benefits and ability to climb on the steeps or slopers [w/o required pinching]… paradise?

I don’t remember you offering me money (or beer) to put your name on my arm…although after seeing your spraysheet maybe I should get your signature while it is still cheap…

How’re you gonna advertise on your cast when you won’t put anything on it?

Ryan – The incredible amount of rock around Chatt. is pretty astounding. You could make an argument that it is just as good a place to live as the front range if you are into climbing.

Tom – Unfortunately I probably need to have surgery on my other thumb so it seems best to hang around here and get everything sorted out first. This will also give us a bit more time to visit and scope things out in CO before we decide what to do. Still a bummer though.

Sorry to hear that, thought you were hoping to get out to Colorado sooner.

Too bad Chatt is still a secret. I dont have the time or energy or knowledge to list ALL of the crags within 8 hours. I think the list under 2 hours rivals the above list…
Of course we dont have the 14′ers, but we have 12 months of ROCK climbing available…
