Tom, just posted his sign-up for the May Canyon Fest. Usually a good time. Best read the February messages to understand all the rules.

May Canyon Fest - Swell/Roost May 13-21, 2006

Sign UP now available. Go to the Yahoo Group Site:

Click on Database, and add your name to the list, filling in each of the columns.

Saturday May 13th through Sunday May 21st. Astute readers will notice that May 14th is Mother's Day. Therefore, the "Big Weekend" will be the second weekend, May 20/21. Beginners are more easily accomodated on the "Big Weekend".

Sign up is MOSTLY first come first served. I am concerned that the last TCF was too male-dominated, so this time I am instituting quotas, and will be giving some degree of preference to women.

I'll be working on the guidelines, etc, and putting them up as a site somewhere. Just a few points:

1. Trips are led, not guided. If you want or need to be guided, hire a guide.

2. No pets are allowed. Especially not chihuahuas.

3. Helmets are (almost) required for ALL participants.

4. We will try to accomodate all levels of skill, however, most people will have a good time if they know how to rappel, and a few other things.

5. Participation in Toms Canyon Festivals is at the discretion of Tom.
