Hey all you climbers!<br><br>We bet that in light of today's apocalyptic
snowstorm you've spent all day stressed out about the status of
tomorrow's meeting. Or maybe you just went skiing instead. Either way,
it's unclear whether the meeting will happen tomorrow, but there are
some semi-urgent things that need to be talked about. The 5-College
Outdoor Festival is only four short weeks away, and, as we're sure most of
you have noticed, the cave needs a lot of new routes before it's
competition ready (this is where you come in), and before we can set new
routes, there are a lot of other, maybe less fun things that have to be
done (this is where you come in...before the other part where you come
in). The things are..<br>
<br>-Stripping holds (We'll need as many people as possible to work on
this, and it doesn't have to all be done at once. All the holds need to
come off the wall and off the cave. If you don't know how take holds
off, it's not hard! Just ask someone, anyone who participated in this
process last year or who just looks like they know what they're doing,
they'll be happy to teach you)<br>
<br>-Washing holds/Taking holds to be washed (We don't need as many
people for this, but a few volunteers would be nice. This involves
either helping take trashcans full of holds to the Dining Hall, being in
the Dining Hall washing the holds, or both)<br>
<br>-Painting the Cave (Again, we'll only need a few people for this.
Once all the holds are off, we are going to paint the cave to get rid of
all those scuff marks from all your hard work this year!)<br><br>This
is going to be a lot of work, but there is some good news too! The CC
has gotten a copy of the Reel Rock Film Tour, and will be holding a
watching/pizza party in a couple weeks for everyone who helped out with
any of these projects. Reply to this email, come to a meeting (hopefully
tomorrow's, if campus isn't closed), or talk to May, Sarah, or Sam if
you want to help or you have any questions. We'll let you know whether we're meeting tomorrow as soon as we find out more.<br>
<br>Thanks so much in advance for all your help in making this the best Outdoors Festival yet! Stay warm out there!<br><br>Love,<br><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888">Sarah and May</font>
