Hey Basecampers,
Whats the weather going to be like during our visit to Boulder? It's winter here in Sunny North Queensland
A balmy 24 degrees C and I haven't seen a jacket for months....
-
Today was 32°c in Boulder, pretty nice compared to the 41°c in Dallas today.
-
16°c in liverpool and I even braved an outdoor pool today! Cant wait for some stateside sun I will pack my factor 50
-
Ok, so no Skivvy or beanie then.
Was there mention of a hike somewhere?
-
yeah google are supposedly sorting one out however I am going for one on the monday/tuesday or saturday day to here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flatirons_Winter_Sunrise_edit_2.jpg
if anybody else fancies it let me know ill sort something out. im taking my SLR and walking boots anyway"he Flatirons on Green Mountain are within the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks system. They are popular destinations for hikers and rock climbers, with rock grades ranging from easy (5.0) to world-class (5.14)."
5.14 pfft i can manage at least a 5.22!
-
32 centigrade is not bad (I mean not too hot) but how is humidity? As it's the easter side of the Rocky, I would expect it to be rather dry than humid...
BTW Andrew (and Eric), I (and Rich and Mike) will not fly until Sunday so eventually we can have some after-party on Friday...
-
Could be in 90's or there could be a foot of snow on the ground, that is what makes spring and fall so much fun here. Best guess is mid 80's in the day, mid 50's at night, but either of those could be 20 degrees off either way. (all temps Fahrenheit). It won't be humid.

If anybody is still looking for a hotel I just got one in boulder that's pretty cheap £40/$60 a night. You get double bed, internet, fridge, pool, breakfast and free local calls. I think I might be going on a bit more of a budget than most others still being a lowly student but its a pretty good deal.
Its less than a mile from the base-camp so an easy walk here is the address http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/bestv.cfm?idp=1668

Hey Liam, sounds like a fun place to stay but I have a place to stay, thanks.
Nice and cheap too but helping out in the kitchen at night and communal showers is not my cup of tea...
I just hope you read the fine print and agreed to the terms.... -

Im just trying to save as much as I can as soon as i get back from basecamp im going to Ibiza and ill need as much as I can save for that not that ill be slumming it in America but I would rather spend my money on touristy stuff since its my first time in the states!

Normally i'll be comming over from Belgium.
What's the best way to travel from denver to boulder?
Any other European delegates? -
There is a shuttle bus service between the airport and Boulder (BTW the airport is just about the same distance / time from Denver than Boulder). It's supposed to be some $ 20 (around this value at least). I do not know the details but I'll have to look them up myself.
-
Seeing there's quite a few of us arriving Tuesday and in anticipation of Solos' carnival, maybe we post our mobile numbers somewhere. I have Daves; Eric, we arrive around the same time into Denver, I think we discussed catching a cab or something....?
There is an identification thread here somewhere actually so i should check there i guess.
Is it wise to post mobile numbers? Texting may be the best way to communicate til we're all in the same room...
