I am officially in. As far as the wife goes I have found it best to get some form of limited permission, go, then just do what you want and ask for forgiveness later. This is coming from admittedly little experience but its the plan for the 23.

some of the strongest climbers on earth are 50-55.
and many of my 30ish year old friends dont even have all their teeth.
wives should be given the mushroom treatment, when it comes to things that are dangerous and/or expensive.
sounds like you've got some climbing experience?

i've edited the first post to include all (hopefully?) pertinent information, since this thread's long and sort of cluttered.
let me know if i forgot to include anything important. and make sure you contact me if you have any questions/uncertainty about gear- returns are almost NEVER allowed on rope gear.
you lead it? i haven't done any trad yet.. i've sort of had to put the breaks on my gear spending, reminding myself that the whole reason i've been learning to rock climb to begin with is to make myself a better mountaineer- NOT a hardcore rock climber. i'll probably skip trad in favor of aid, once the weather starts to facilitate chalk and rock shoes.
Sadly no. I was going to lead the next one but time was short and we had to leave. It was all my brothers gear, its ridiculous how much a couple of cams will run you. I have been half heartily been trying to start ski back-country/mountaineering. Got an AT setup and a beacon, probe, and shovel just need to find some people who want to walk up the mountain not take the lift.
"We don't need no stinkin crampons or axes its June!" How to eat your words.

Are we still on? Any more details, such as when & where? I plan to head down to REI and find out how much it'll cost to rent gear. Will probably also need to rent a hotel room. Any shooting planned?
