chelle Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 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?
Dru Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 I predict Larry the Tool will show up and issue citations to everyone
klenke Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 Well then. We could then gang rush him, pull his pants down, and tie him up to the nearest post. Then he'd be the "Full Moon Rope Up" for the day.

Beck Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 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.
erik Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 all i wanna know is who is gonna keep rat from the beer? he is one feisty mother fucker when it comes to beer.

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?
