Man, if it was Mill Creek Utah, things would be different! I wish I could help you more than this: Obviously you probably know the nearest gym is probably Everett. Don't ever rule out the bus as a method of getting around. I used to live out on the Olympic Peninsula, and while it took a while, the bus got me to places I really wanted to go. One of the best alpine climbers to come out of the Northwest is Colin Haley, and he just found a way to make it happen when he was a teenager. He found people who were willing to drive him (friends, parents, whatever), or rode the bus, whatever. Transportation is totally an obstacle you can overcome. Sorry, I don't know anything to climb on in that area, but maybe try being a little more resourceful with your transportation options. I'm betting you can get to some great climbing. Good luck man, and welcome to CC.com! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need any help. I can't give you any rides because I'm not in that area, but maybe someone else can (though I'd get your parents OK before getting any rides with someone you don't know!)

Wow...super impressive!

Did Greg write this, or did you? I have to say, if you wrote it, thats a pretty hilarious ...writing from your partners point of view. And even if Greg wrote it, great TR. Thanks for posting!

Its funny I keep hearing that Facebook is the next site that will die off, like Myspace did (reborn as something else I guess), or Friendster. I know my son (12 going on 13) isn't interested in Facebook because thats for old people...he and his friends are on Instagram. The kids will choose their own path. Facebook is great for staying in touch with family and friends you wouldn't want to talk to otherwise. I would probably consider deleting my account, but then my mom would have a harder time getting ahold of me.

Wow, it really is on the brink of going in.

Awesome! Did you take any pictures??? Ah...i see the note about photos! Can't wait to see them! Thank you!

you can see a couple photos of the slide in the WSDOT flicker set:

Shirts: I have lots of large and XL left, possibly 1 medium. We need to have ideas for another contest, preferably ideas that result in lots of good conversations/story telling. We could even do what we did last time as that worked great. I have more Seattle Bouldering Project passes to give away, and I think a few pieces of outdoor clothing. Next Pubclub will be not this coming week, but the first week of April. I would like to propose West Seattle or Georgetown. In West Seattle the Beveridge Place is awesome, or there is this new place called the Bridge just up the street from it.

For now I think we'd just like to hear your comments about the change. If you have questions, we think most are answered in the post, so I encourage you to read it all the way through (yeah, I know it is a wall of text). I think its important to point out that it isn't about targeting anyone specifically, so we aren't going to call anyone out. This isn't about the past, this is about the future. This is just a about raising the bar a little so we can get more people to participate. Its about becoming a little more friendly, so you don't need as thick a hide to be a part of CC.com. Thats all I'll say for now, but I do encourage you guys to speak up and tell us what this site means to you and what your response is to the update Jon posted. Is there something specifically you don't like about it? We need feedback (but please keep it constructive).

BD and Omegas are sold and no longer available.

Sold a few things, but anything with a picture is still available.

wow! awesome photos. living the high life for sure.

Stewart had a great story as well!

Contest winner Bellows had an interesting tale to tell....

another thing that happened tonight was the anointing of Rolf to the Big Ballers Club. The last couple of hardman TESTPIECES to go down in the Cascades have fallen to a couple of guys. One being the OB, or Original Baller, Senor Wehrly. But the unsung one, the one (and we all know how much Wehrly is all about tooting his horn) who lead all the hard pitches...well that was Rolf, my BFF. Welcome to the club Rolf! I wish I was more than the guy who just printed the t-shirts, but you guys do all the heavy lifting. Remember, you can't talk about it. Shhhhhhhh...long deserved, good to see you tonight man. and Kelly too. Wehrly was at the last pubclub, so we gave him the night off. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1111243/TR_North_Hozomeen_Mtn_Zorro_Fa#Post1111243 http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=836613

It was really great this time! Sorry you couldn't link up Wayne, but there will be more. I will post up the contest winner(s) tomorrow. Great time, I think we can improve on the venue as far as how it fits our particular group. But we made it work, and the crew was strong including the climbing book author guy who joined us and hung out all night. Thanks to all that came out, it was great to see you and to hear some stories. Stay tuned to this thread, we'll have another pubclub soon and there should be even more stuff for us to give away (might cost you a song and a dance for entertainment purposes).

Plan B is in effect. Go to the lamplighter next door. No place to sit, etc

LOL...well we'll see. Forecast was for rain then supposed to be good. And if weather sucks or things are too cramped we gotta a backup plan! Primary Plan for Pubclub tonight March 19 is still Chucks Hop Shop on 85th from 7pm till 10 or 11 or whatever. 656 NW 85th in the Greenwood neighborhood. if we are not there for some reason, we will be at the Lamplighter. 820 NW 85th Street

Someone want suggest a backup spot in the neighborhood just in case? If we're not at Chucks, we'll be at? At any rate the forecast doesn't include rain right now...

Yes you got it right Matt, hope to see you there. Well I'll throw all the CC.com shirts I have in the car. I've never been to this place so I don't know how big it is! Hopefully it is big enough so whoever shows up can all sit together. I'm sure there are other places in the area that we can move to if that is an issue.

Cool, I should have shirts for all who show up! Don't forget the contest. It doesn't have to be a big deal, so don't be shy. This is a friendly gathering!

Sam, since we all know who you are at this point, we know you've already seen both of Wayne's peckers. You're going to have to specify which one.

Rob, the first rule of Pubclub is don't talk about not coming to Pubclub....
