Time

Plan to arrive at the cabin no later than 10pm on Friday to participate in trip planning.
Location
MITOC's Camelot cabin and the nearby crags (Rumney, Franconia Notch, etc.) The cabin has electricity, but no running water, and most participants will be sleeping on the floor or camping.
Climbing:
The cabin is about 15 minutes from sport climbing at Rumney and less than an hour from trad (and sport) climbing in Franconia Notch.
We will be forming groups each evening for the next day. Specifics will depend on the individuals involved.
Food:
We will provide dinner on Saturday night and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Lunches and other dinners are not provided. Chris Blatchley has graciously offered to cook tacos for dinner on Saturday night, but he will need help. Please contact him (email below) to coordinate. Everyone will have to either help cook or clean up.
Gear
You should bring:
Personal climbing gear (helmet, harness, shoes, etc.)
(Optional) shared climbing gear (rope, rack, etc.)
Overnight/camping gear
