Squid Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 hmmm...drunken bar fight between cc.comers and the mounties...wonder how long that gang battle would last. The vegas bookies say: Mounties outweigh cc.commies Mounties outnumber cc.commies Mounties wear more armor than cc.commies Mounties neither baked nor tanked. Impromptu weapons of daisied oval 'biners much more ferocious than daisied neutrinos. We'd get our asses kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 ahhhh...however: COMMIES: fight dirty MOUNTIES: must adhere to the list of accepted fighting tactics, instructed by the students of the previous year. COMMIES: are light and fast MOUNTIES: must carry the brawler's equivalent of the ten essentials COMMIES: proficient at solo fighting techniques MOUNTIES: only effective in groups of 12 or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klenke Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 What about those that are both commies and mounties (Gary Y, catbirdseat, [a-hmm hmm hm], [a-hmm hmm hm],...)? Which side do they have to fight on? Would they be like spies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 bar fights get hot...my money says the mounties, glad in fleece and goretex from head to toe quickly melt down...as conditions look to become iffy, their resounding battle cry will be heard: "run away! run away!"

Dustin_B Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Although it might be fun to watch this brawl unfold (and my money would be on the mounties), I thought I'd see what I could do to avoid any conflicts. Below is a list of field trips, dates, and locations of the boealps and different branches of the mountaineers. I didn't look into the other climbing organizations such as the Mazamas, WAC, etc. Even for its length, this is not an exhaustive list, rather only info I could find on the different organizations websites. I will not attempt to order them chronologically since I just have them listed by organization. Now can't we all just get along!! BOEALPS: March 20, Mt. Erie, basic rock field trip March 27, Horsethief, intermediate rock field trip May 1, Smith, intermediate rock field tip May 22, Squamish, intermediate rock field trip April 24/25*, Leavenworth, joint class rock field trip Bellingham Mounties: March 27, Mt. Erie, basic rock 1 April 17/18, Skaha, BC, basic rock 2 Kitsap Mounties: April 17, Mt. Erie, intermediate rock (rescue) May 8, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 1 June 19/20, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 2 Tacoma Mounties: April 24 or 25, Spire Rock, basic rock 1 May 15 or 16, Leavenworth, basic rock 2 April 17/18, (location TBD), intermediate rock 1 May 1/2, (location TBD), intermediate rock 2 Olympia Mounties: May 15/16 or May 22/23, (location TBD), basic rock weekend June 5/6, (location TBD), intermediate rock 1 June 19/20, (location TBD), intermediate rock 2 Seattle Mounties*: April 3/4, Mt. Erie, basic rock 2 March 20/21, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 1 March 27/28, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 1 April 17/18, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 2 April 3/4, Leavenworth, crag course rock 1 April 10/11, Leavenworth, crag rock 2 May 8/9, Leavenworth/Vantage, crag rock 3 May 29/30, Leavenworth/others, crag rock 4 April 10/11, Vantage, Big wall course rock 1 May 8/9, Index, Big wall rock 2 Everett Mounties: April 17/18*, Leavenworth, basic rock 2 March 27/28, Leavenworth, intermediate rock 1 April 24/25, Royal Columns, intermediate rock 2 April 24/25, Leavenworth, crag course rock 1 May 8/9, Royal Columns, crag rock 2 May 22/23, Vantage, crag rock 3 June 5/6, Squamish, crag rock 4 * = means I would guess that this gathering would be on the larger size, you know "mountie size". Doesn't mean the other gatherings won't be large though. PS - I emailed a couple of people in charge of these organizations to try to nail down the locations of the TBD field trips. If they respond, I'll update the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 For group camping in Leavenworth, I think, a bigger issue is the rafting groups that seem to completely take over the campgrounds in the Spring. I don't know exactly when that happens - mid April to mid June, perhaps? The Mountaineers or Boealps or whoever are not nearly so numerous and they will largely stick to two or three locations in Icicle canyon, won't they?

icegirl Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Okay, back to the original idea... The first thought was PubClub goes climbing... like heading up to E32 after work. I know I know, y'all want some overnighter thing, someone else can organize that. We've already got the Spring Smithy Rope up, and the Fall Leavenworth Rope Up.

icegirl Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Now now, we know your bark is worse than your bite... E32 will be fun. But yes, lets wait for after daylight savings time... Perhaps a thursday? That way there will be less chance of running into the mounties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icegirl Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I'm sorry Muffy, no need to yell at me. I believe I said, "back to the original , idea not post..." It was actually discussed in person at a pub club (or driving home from climbing - I can't actually remember which) where the idea came up to have a Pub Club goes climbing sort of thing. Geez. Chill. You can all have your "Rope Up" and others of us can have our "Pub Club Goes Climbing" (PCGC) the are not mutally exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
