Subject: [rock-rendezvous] August RR meeting don't miss it!

It's time for the monthly RR meeting again.  This month Megan Delehanty will be showing slides from her attempt on Everest from North Side.  Anna Sommer has bravely offered to host the meeting at her place in Berkeley.  Also as usual at the meeting we get to talk climbing, recruit partners, and generally pretend that climbers have social lives.  Don't forget to bring food and drinks to share.

Who: YOU!
What: RR monthly meeting
When: August 7, 7:00 p.m.
Where: 617 60th St

This should be a great slide show so don't miss it

Directions:

So the place is pretty easy to find.  If you're doing the public transit thing, take BART to Ashby, walk down Woolsey St. towards Shattuck, turn right on Shattuck and walk until you hit 60th St.  I'm the white house with blue trim; street number is 617.  Folks can call 617-838-9910 if they are lost.  Driving directions are probably easiest by just googling them from wherever you're starting from.

Grade 7 big wall haul bag
Its a factory second because it has some stains on the outside of the
bag, otherwise its in excellent shape, never used and totally
functional. Its an excellent deal.
Asking $100. 707-217-4730 Harrison

Hello

I am a recent member of this group from Hanford (central valley).
Looking for climbing/mountaineering folks-I have class 3 & 4
experience and a lil' class 5. I can't always solo. Eastern & Western
Sierra fine by me. I can lead you on the Whitney Mountaineer's route,
or maybe the Pear Lake Ski Hut for snow shoeing.

Nice to meet you Chad.

We do a little of alpine everything:  rocks, mountains, ice, skiing,
focusing on alpine mostly but we're not above hitting the crags for
practice too.

This last weekend we did the west ridge on Conness; the week before
Tom led a group on Temple crag.

Hi Everyone,

I don't know how many of you know and climb with Rob Yang (probably a
lot!), but please keep him in your thoughts or prayers or whatever your
tradition is.  He was in a car accident on Thursday night and is in the
hospital in Modesto, apparently with spinal injuries.  I haven't talked
to him yet.  Here is all I know:

Conness was great fun - amazing climb that actually lives up to its
reputation.  It was really windy but everyone got up and down safely.
I'll post the pictures (wish I had taken more) to the photos spot
when I get a chance.

It may be short notice, but As I live near the Sequoia's and Yosemite
I'm free for an outing this Thursday/Friday and/or next
Thursday/Friday. Or perhaps a dayhike of the Mountaineers Route at
Whitney.
I completed a night hike (vice dayhike)of Half Dome last friday night.
Avoided all the tourists on the cables, a much more rewarding
experience.
