Full Moon Rope Up

Recommended Posts

Just got a note from the AAC and it looks like our little rope up event is going to be legit this year. Co-sponsors, trail projects, slide shows, free beer (well we had that last year too - thanks TG). Wow!

 

Hey Jon and Timm@y when is this going up on the Events board?

PLUS, Outdoor Research should be stewarding the kegs of Pyramid Brewery at the Ropeup as well... they had heard about Rat's performance hoarding the group pitcher at last years ropeup, however, and he has been 86'd from the beer garden.

Beck - I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive. Don't get me wrong because I really appreciate what you're doing to pull this together, but I'd hate to see the rope up become some stale social event dominated by signing waivers and requests for money from the AAC and Access Fund (I already donate) with limited opportunity for fun and frolic.

 

Can we still climb at night by the full moon after enjoying a few beers or will that be in violation of someone's insurance? Can we still take over Castle Rock and Pearly Gates en masse or will that be considered poor stewardship? Can we watch AlpineK's entertaining way of starting a campfire?
