Hi all,

Who says there's no elevation in Central Illinois?!  Its here, but just 
man-made.

October 12th I'll be going over to Upper Limits in Bloomington, an indoor wall 
climbing facility.  This is supposedly 'the' place for climbing in Illinois, 
and bound to be a great time.  If you are interested in this event but can't 
make it Oct 12th, please let me know.

For BEGINNERS (which is myself included): We can have a group Climbing 101 
class.  The more people go the cheaper it is, with a max of 15.  First come, 
first serve so email me asap if you're interested.  If we get 15 people 
together, the cost will be $25 and will include rentals, a day pass, and two 
hour instruction.

For NON-BEGINNERS:  Anyone can boulder around the base (I think), but if you 
plan to belay, you must be tested first.  This 'initiation' is $5, and is a 
one time fee.  A weekend daily pass is $12.50.

The class starts at 4:00 so I'd like to leave no later than 3:00 pm.  I can 
fit 3 other people in my car, and since I don't like to strap people to the 
roof I'd much appreciate anyone else who can drive.  Let me know your 
driving-ability status when you reply to this email.  The gym closes at 10:00 
pm on Saturday.  I plan to work out the finer details of when to leave once I 
know who's coming and what their schedules are.
