n00bfest June 6-8th 2008 in Zion National Park
When is it this year? I want in. Bring on the n00bf3s7.
Oh, and can you completely work around my schedule?
But seriously, I really want to make it this year. My knees are refreshed.
Is Spring a possibility, or does Fall work best?

Time of year depends on where you want to hold the fest. Rockgremlin is the guy who usually headed up the canyon noob fests in the past. Not sure how that is going to work with his recent relocation.
Post your ideas.....

And a little FYI to canyoneers..... Tom recently posted that he will not be holding any Tom Canyon Festivals this year. So if some of you want in on a fest you might need to pick up the slack and help with some planning and organization.

On a serious note, I'll be happy to help out where I can. Perhaps a good starting point is figuring out when people want to do it.
Welcome to the forum, engaging first post.

If my wife did allow me to go I would like to do a canyon with some natural anchor building so I could see how the pros do it.
Where should we go? I think somewhere without permits like roost/swell area. Kindof in the middle. I vote sometime in March/April mabey even may if its not too hot then.
Edit: I am also down with Dan as the trip planner/leaderThe man thong is wrong.

Hey Skianddive..... nice to see you on the Dark Side.
I guess this means all my friends are now officialy out of jail. That's weird, huh...

Couple of thoughts I've been kicking around.... not saying any of them will actually happen, but then again, if there is enough interest it just might....
A Couple's Fest, this would be more upscale, rooms at a descent motel, dinner and drinks at nice restaurants, easier canyons. This would be a great time for canyoneers to drag their significant other kicking and screaming into the sport. Probably stage out of Moab or Springdale.
A Family Fest, some easier tech canyons with short raps that are kid friendly.... thinking of gearing for kids about 5 and up... could hold this several different places. Big campfire in the evening... North Wash area might make a descent base. Hold a big dinner and a DI Formal. We've done the DI formal thing before and it's a hoot.
I have a couple other ideas.... if any of this sparks an interest speak up....

Couples and family thing would be fun. It's also fun without kids and wife so I'm good either way.
The man thong is wrong.

I would also like to join the fun. Would suggest the Swell, North Wash, Robber's Roost, area's if done in March/April timeframe. Maybe even the Cedar Mesa area. If you need help in planning let me know.

Chris, you sure you can handle me again? I'm not convinced I can handle you...
BTW, you going to put on a Mexico fest or what? That's what I really want in on.
