I'm off that weekend, so sure I'll wake up at 5am so you can magically change the weather into a nightmare.

I saw the next one though in April. You seem to love making us carry people.

Won't really be carrying them. Will be tying them up and pushing them off a cliff...

You will have to excuse me if I don't believe you.

We should also start planning carpools, since parking up there is limited and there are civilians/bystanders on site.

In, since I didn’t formally indicate so in an earlier post.

What gear will we have to bring?

All I have on hand is gloves and an auto locking steel carabiner. I do not have a helmet, rappelling ropes, or rope to fashion a Swiss seat.

Regardless, looking forward to being at Dolly Sods again, hopefully we’ll have better weather then we did for August Rush

The APC will provide all rappelling equipment.

Helmets do not need to be tactical/ballistic - a hard hat, skateboard helmet, etc in good condition should work. If you don't have one of those, there may be someone there with a helmet who wears the same size you do.

At a minimum you need comfortable outdoors clothes/sturdy shoes and hydration. If anyone higher up has corrections, then disregard this post.

Need to confirm one thing, since Dolly Sods is pretty big - is our initial meetup at the same point from last time?

Anyone with questions/hasn't been here before is welcome to IM me after I get confirmation.

@Ben

Due to several roads being closed in the Dolly Sods and surrounding area, and other issues, we are relocating this event to Great Falls National Park.

Exact meetup grid and instructions to follow later this week.

I was just going to say something about the forest roads being closed until April and see the change now.

If any non-veteran wants to avoid the fee, arrange to meet up and ride in with a veteran.

Just had a change of plans and will be able to make it.  Looking forward to this event.

If someone is coming from a distance and would rather be close by tonight to avoid driving several hours early in the AM, you can stay at my place tonight.


I expect there to be a whole lot of people at the park tomorrow because of the weather.  That will make for long lines getting in at some point.

I'm not going to be able to stay the whole day because I have a vet appointment but I'm still coming. Do you need any help with staff stuff if me leaving would interrupt training?
