Are you missing your SoR new friends and the weekly weekend climbing?
Come join for an open-cabin reunion!
Food
A light breakfast will be provided both on Saturday and Sunday. Dinner will be provided on Saturday evening.
Plan your own lunches and water (the cabin does not have running water).
Cost
Trip fee is $15 to contribute to food and cabin use. As usual, if you're an MIT student and the cost is a burden, the fee can be waived on demand.
Climbing
We're planning to climb both Saturday and Sunday.
The trips is an "open cabin", meaning there will be no formal leading this weekend. Climbers are expected to self-organize into parties, but we will facilitate the planning and make sure no one is left behind!
There will be a collective planning meeting (#chaos) Friday night and Saturday after dinner.
Where to climb?
- The simple choice: Rumney (mostly sport) is 10 minutes from the Cabin
- Off the beaten path: Russel Crag (limited parking, but great sport)
- Spicy spicy: Franconia Notch and Cannon offer a bunch of trad climbing options.
Swimming
There are several options to swim after a hot day of climbing:
- The baker river, near the Rumney Parking lot.
- Sculptured Rocks Natural Area is a great geological formation with very fun swimming against the current.
- Newfound lake has a great beach and good swimming
Sleeping
The cabin will be open on Friday night.
Folks will be able to either camp on the property, or sleep inside. Bring your own sleeping gear.
