Bug Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Gear up kids! Does anyone have a full sized griddle we ccan use to crank out pancakes in the morning? I will bring my two burner propane stove and I'm sure there will be others. I'll bring a big bag of Krusteaz mix. Let's have eggs and bacon too. That'll fuel em up for the long term better than empty carbs. We ran a little short of water last time too. Bring lots of water bottles/bags. Chatter Creek is way up the canyon. It could be cold so bring warm clothes. I will have a huge tarp or two. Some extra cord would be handy to tie it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowByrd Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) I do! have a griddle that is...itcame with my 2 burner propane stove. I'll bring a couple of 5 gallon water thingys and a couple of extra sleeping bags for stragglers should we need them. We've had a wave of disappearing tent poles hit my house so I'm afraid that I only have one 3 man tent available....but I'll bring beer, OJ, and eggs. I'll also have Morning Star breakfast patties available. Somebody else got bacon? I also have a rope and draws now All I need to do is learn how to lead. Do we need extra ropes? I cna dig up another one as well. Lets take a climbing inventory check. Nina = 1 adult small harness Size 34 shoes 2 ropes (1 dry 60 and 1 nondry 60) Adult ex small harness Kids shoes 12 draws (sorry, no rack yet) I can get my hands on more stuff if we need it but thats what I've got to share at the moment. Can we go today? Gawd its beautiful out there! Edited September 14, 2004 by SnowByrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 I recommend not bringing more than one rope apiece. Leave the best one at home since we will be top-roping everything. I'd hate to see someone get ripped off at the road. I will have one rope, rack, slingage, a couple L harnesses, one XS harness, A couple pairs of smaller shoes.

SnowByrd Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 What if it rains? Sorry...I had to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 We are going to go anyways and see for ourselves. If the rain is really bad then we'll come home or do somethng else. At any rate we will have to all chip in and pay for the campground. Unless they give money back for bad weather... Cross your fingerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 It looks questionable but the east side is not as drizzly as the west side. Cances are we will have a big fire and hang out. Maybe take a trip to Peshastin where it rains considerably less than Icicle. At any rate, I am going with full rain gear and tarps and tents and hot chocolate. Or there is always Walmart.... FRIDAY A 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW. HIGHS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S. WIND SOUTHWEST 15 TO 25 MPH ON THE RIDGE TOPS. FRIDAY NIGHT A 60 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. LOWS IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S. SATURDAY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 60 PERCENT.

chucK Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Vantage would be a poor choice of places to bring kids, especially smaller ones. Too much rockfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
