jon Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Folks, More details to come in the next few days to week. SausageFest is scheduled for Sunday Nov. 15 at Shultzy's restaurant in Seattle. For those of you don't know about this, or forgot what happened when you were there, this is our big slide show/party we try to put on every year. I know we haven't done this for a few years so we have a little something special planned for this one. PUT this on your calendar, you WILL NOT miss this event.
olyclimber Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 prefunk starts at 5, slides start at 7 wil add to poster later
olyclimber Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 beer will flow like the mighty amazon river
jon Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Historically it has been pretty favorable to those who come, and I can't see it being any different this year. There will be a drink special. Shultzys arguably has one of the best sets of rotating taps in Seattle. It's not uncommon for them to have one of two kegs on the westcoast of something from Europe.
olyclimber Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 You can see the drink menu here: http://files.shultzys.com/s-bar.html
olyclimber Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Steve Swenson and Joe Puryear will be showing slides, along with others (maybe you?)
mkporwit Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Porter, feel free to use my projector for that one, especially given that I have not yet gotten around to picking it up from you...

skibum14 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Random, but what route is the photo for the poster of?
Weekend_Climberz Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) It's in a city near a park. Right? Can anyone imagine their fingers in that flare above the zig. I think it's only 3 times lead. Right? Better yet. See if you can name the route and the three people in the world who have lead it. Edited October 23, 2009 by Weekend_Climberz
Dannible Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 No, I'm pretty sure that's near the topout on that one route on Rainier. Whats that route called again?
skibum14 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I figured it was City Park. Let's see, Todd Skinner led it first, and I can't remember the other two off the top of my head. One was a double amputee though. Okay, I just looked it up, but I won't spoil the fun. EDIT: I think there were 4 free ascents... Edited October 23, 2009 by skibum14
selkirk Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I think someone's kid recently freed it on TR as well. Not sure who that might be though
boadman Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Actually, I think it's up to 5 who've lead it, right? Todd Skinner Hugh Herr Alan Watts (he didn't send, but he still lead it) Mikey (edited for brain fart) Ben G. Edited October 23, 2009 by boadman
willstrickland Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Watts was the man, but if you didn't send, doesn't really count. Hell, I've "lead" the thing...it was 5.10 C1+ for me. But you do a great disservice to Mike Shaeffer, who got the second redpoint, by leaving him off your list. Skinner did not climb the full line, detouring around some .11 in the upper half...survey says, no send or send of easier variation at best. IMO, your list should go something like: Skinner: freed cruxes, failed to redpoint. Watts: freed cruxes, failed to redpoint. Hugh Herr: Sent, but controversy over prosthetic feet used. Shaeffer: First send with no controvesy.
