gslater Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I think the Jug is operating under a new name. Probably still the same high-quality operation though...
sketchfest Posted March 29, 2004 Author Posted March 29, 2004 I'll be there....I promise, although I may pass on the PC, It'll depend on if I dry out enough from my wifes b-day party this past Saturday.

ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 i'll be over more like 330 since i'm a cool teacher who's done at 210 everyday (anybody feel like climbing more often in the week now that dls is upon us?) i've just been to the butte once so i'll probably just go where i went last time (breakfast cracks) and take a stroll w/ the guide book and try to figure out what the hell i'm staring at. when you getting thar billy-boy? winter, you gonna be there boy? to defy your most recent denuciation of me i'm bringing the biggest bag of bullshit just for you baby...we gonna do that vw of your's east coast style, biyatch! i'm bringing a rusty old beer can to make it a true classic...
rbw1966 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Save some for me. I'll be at the RNR getting my drink on.
billcoe Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Ivan, although I can come and go when I want here, the responsibility is like a prison. So, I could leave here at 2:30, but if we're busy it would be like the capt. of the ship bailing first and saying "Dudes, good weather gotta go." So if we are busy it will be hard to creap out too early. If everybody would remember that yesterday it rained. It's slick at the muddy top after a winter of moss growing. Most of the accidents at the Butte are from falls off the top, I'm not kidding I've seen it more than once and heard many stories. Sometimes climbers just clipping into the anchors. So best to use a long rope at the top to be or backup the anchor, tie off that tree and be clipped into it if you need to get close to the edge for any reason like setting up anchors or just grabbing the rap lines. (Hill street Blues, "lets be careful out there" kind of deal.) Don't be causal, I picked up and delivered to the emergency room with my former climbing partner Bob the nurse one of the most experianced, best, most knowledgeable Oregon climbers who merely slipped off the top and rolled to the very F*en bottom of the hill doing cartwheels all the way downhill. It was pretty loud. Broken wrist, 2 broken ribs, ruptured spleen, punctured lung blah blah. He was just "hiking" around to come climb with me. (Breakfast cracks) Nothing that surgery, emergency room trauma Doctors, more surgery, stainless steel screws and 2 months in the hospital couldn't fix. He credits us with saving his life as he repeatedly insisted he was fine and just wanted to go home. I haven't seen any cash from it yet:-( b
ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) so have we actually settled on the RNR for drinks? i have sensed no consensus on that. i vote for the rnr though, as they serve tg and the upstairs is nice n' private (lap dances, anyone?) anyone gonna be there before 4?

ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Broken wrist, 2 broken ribs, ruptured spleen, punctured lung blah blah. He was just "hiking" around to come climb with me. (Breakfast cracks) # of times i'v been to the butte: 1 # of people i've seen fall from the top to the bottom: 1 just what you expect from an urban climbing location, really
sketchfest Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Geez Bill, that reminds me of the only time I was at the Butte last summer. I think ChrisT could tell the story with much more vivid imagery than I can though
billcoe Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Wow, these falling off the top of Butte stories look like they are going to start hijacking this thread. Sorry. Hope to see Chris Ts and Petes smiling faces and happy visages there tonight!
Winter Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Hahaha! Ivan's bringing the schwag he scored from the 10th graders!! Dude, that's called OREGANO. Can't make the Butte. May be at the RNR. Hope to see some of you there without any open wounds or contusions.
ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 you make me sad...maybe we can arrange a similiarly sketchy situation on the corner of the r'n'r? coincidentally, it does make for good cook'n!
thrutch Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 We are new to Oregon and would like to be filled in on this here event stuff. Thanks.
ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 ummmm...come to rocky butte quarry (that big hill where i205 hits i84)...then come to the rose and the raindrop (bar near 84 in portland...adress online) and get drunk...to use pete's line "age and sexual orientation inconsequential"
