Sweet trip! It was good to meet all you guys. In attendance were Bug and his two girls, Dave Parker and his son, ChucK and his two kids, Leejams with the kids and the biggest, and well tempered, Malamute I have ever seen, Silent Dave, AKA Dave the Chisler, 11worth Dave, Drop 'em and Chop 'em Dave, I'm not a sport climber I just play one on TV Dave, or just plain Dave the Bailer and his twin climbing phenoms, Dave's friend Shawn and someone else's kid, and winner of the largest climbing family award, Hilweasel weighing in with eight kids and a girlfriend!
Guest appearances by Viktor Kramer, who officiated the first annual Viktor Kramer Death Head Toss, Cleveland Ron a notorious local crag head, Jay the stoned local who came stumbling through the woods on his way to who knows where, and Larry the Tool, who upon discovering that we were the group from CC.com, doubled our fines for having vehicles and gave us citations for not having the kids on leashes.
The psychic award goes to ChucK for finding us midday Sat. at a crag that isn't even on the map with no indication from us where we went, and the award for the Best Next Step in Life Idea goes to Shawn who is going to retire (at 38 or so) and become a ski and climbing guide
Dave Parker came through with the gas grill and ribs were enjoyed by all and he bravely lead all the 5.3 cracks so that we could set top ropes for the kids, Bug scored large with the kids by bringing a whole bunch of glow sticks and sugared cereal (I drank so much beer that at one point I thought I was at a midget Rave party)
Many thanks to Hilweasel for getting the ball rolling and just reserving the site and to Dave, I'm not a slave to fashion, the guy who reads but doesn't post, for hooking us with the killer local beta and setting us up on some sweet crags (and keeping me in stitches)
