gslater Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I think the Jug is operating under a new name. Probably still the same high-quality operation though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted April 1, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted April 1, 2004 Share 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?

sketchfest Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Wow, these falling off the top of Butte stories look like they are going to start hijacking this thread. Sorry.
