scott_harpell Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 We miss such quality posts as this... I recall a particularly sordid story where a formerly well-known local Cascade climber (he don't climb no mo) had a spontaneous amorous encounter IN A DUMPSTER in the alley behind the Icicle Tavern in Leavenworth. It was apparently a set-up with the town tramp who was paid to pretend that she was interested in his big manly mountaineering exploits. He ended up WALKING back to 8-mile Campground. For years he told the tale with pride; that some young woman he just met in a bar was so thoroughly in awe that she couldn't control herself. I told the guy more than once that he was full of nonsense and didn't believe his tale at all until I met the fellow who actually paid the girl. To this day, the formerly well-known Cascade climber probably doesn't know the truth. By the way, the Icicle Tavern no longer exists. It used to be a few doors down from Der Sportsmann but has been subdivided into a bunch of trinket shops. It was a great place where just about anything went as long as weapons weren't used. I remember more than once heaving a full pitcher of beer across the room at some climbing pal who just walked in (the pitchers were plastic so nobody got hurt, just wet.) Me and another climbing dude named "Sal" used to do Judo rolls out on the sidewalk in front of the Tavern and if tourists were impressed, they could leave a quarter in his hat to help us pay for beer. To see the famous dumpster, or one of its descendants, walk down the alley between the (now defunct?) Edelweiss Restaurant and the Post Office Tavern. It's the first dumpster on the right. It features prominently in Dwayner's nightlife tour of Leavenworth. I got a lot of crazy stories about that town, having spent some serious summers climbing and guiding out of there.
