Climbing is Dangerous

Climbing is inherently dangerous and the risk of death or serious injury can never be completely eliminated. It is up to each individual to make his or her own choices regarding acceptable risk. Tweetups are collaborative efforts with no individual organizers, and each participant only assumes liability for their own well being, just as you assume liability for yours! Cheers!

Foreword -

I would like to see this happen since I am planning on heading to southern Utah in April to explore and would love to see all your lovely faces. I Would like to make the planning for this a group effort. I have not spent much time in the Moab area, so If you have beta on camping and what not, add it to the camping section. I am trying to feel this out, and if enough people are interested i'll start doing some more planning. -@patrickgensel
