Ouray 2015

Happy New Year of climbing Ice.

I know it's only September 2014 but I have already priced tickets from DCA to MJT is $465. I heard you may get a better deal actually calling the airlines.

I am planning on arriving at the same time, just after MLK weekend, on Wednesday and staying for at least a week.

This is a club trip that's not really a club trip because there aint no deposits, no schedules, no puissant race for the best bunk ( well unless you rent a house or something I suppose), no requirement for membershit, and especially, no stinkin badges.

Comes as  you are, climb your ass off, make new friends.

The are new climber clinics provided by San Juan Guides that you'd take for a day or 2 gear provided for the clinic, then you can simply join the group and climb in the park. Newbies come every year, who are now ice mongers. You can arrange gear rental with the shops or guide service for the remainder of your stay....You can find all this info somewhere on this website; you don't need a car. Many hotels will pick you up and drop you off at the airport in Montrose if you stay with them...the ice park is a leisurely 10 minute walk and so on.

SO,  WEDNESDAY January 21th-2015 is when the fun can begin YMMV.

We someties forget to get everyone together for a group picture until people have left and at the last possible minute.
