AlpineK Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I have just reserved the Bridge Creek Group site for Friday Oct 1st through Sunday Oct 3rd We'll provide more details as things progress (we're making it up as we go along) Right now expect a fun group get together. Camping, climbing, beer, campfire. One thing that's come up is the idea of a service project. It seems like a good idea, but the last 3 years the service project has never really worked out that well. If somebody is enthusiastic about the idea of a service project and wants to volunteer to put in some time to make it happen then contact either jon or me.
Greg_W Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Way to step up to the plate, Kurt. Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I'm for sure putting this one on the calendar.
tomtom Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Make sure to limit the crowd. Many people on this site have complained about groups taking over Icicle Creek with their ropes *everywhere*.
Dru Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 i promise to show up in a thong if the prana top girlz promise to stuff it full of $10s
AlpineK Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Saturday evening entertainment. Othere than socializing there's going to be some video entertainment. We plan on getting a copy of Vertical Limit and showing it that evening. Also I may have a line on some cool 8 mil movies of skiing and climbing.
SnowByrd Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 i promise to show up in a thong if the prana top girlz promise to stuff it full of $10s Dru...you're insinuating that there would be alot of ROOM in that thong for us to stuff $10 bills in....have you ever seen a thong? Don't be so hard on yourself Now...a purple leopard skin speedo.... Oh Baby!
Dru Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I was thinking of one of those leather cup Gimp thingys... I apologize if that's not properly called a thong

fern Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 In the past few days a small number of people have asked various moderators strikingly similar questions related to safety liability issues and drinking at the Rope-Up events. In all the dozen or so major events organized by various users of this website (Fall and Winter rope-ups, smith fest, sausages-and-slides etc.) these issues have never come up before. Neither as concerns voiced prior to the event, nor as 'lessons-learned' after the fact. So it is puzzling why they should become the issue-du-jour now. To clarify: cascadeclimbers.com is a bulletin board on a website where individuals may organize activities. It is neither a guide service nor a bar. It is a space on the internet where people with a common interest in climbing in the PNW can communicate with each other. I would feel pretty fucking awful if someone got hurt climbing, or someone went a bit too wild and got hurt `partying'. I will keep an eye out that my friends are in control - and I hope that they keep an eye out for me. If you need things spelled out more clearly than that, maybe you should re-assess whether or not you are comfortable attending any event that is being organized on a voluntary basis by other people who post to this website. You are 100% welcome to NOT attend. If you do wish to attend then that's awesome, it will be a fun time to meet, climb and hang-out.
whirlwind Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Make sure to limit the crowd. Many people on this site have complained about groups taking over Icicle Creek with their ropes *everywhere*. well with so many guys and so few girls there is bound to be "ropes" everywhere
klenke Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 What fern is trying to say is: If there are any ferns growing around the camparty site you are not allowed to step on them. Dya hear? No stepping on da ferns! No pissing on da ferns either, for that matter. Other than that, spray away...
catbirdseat Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 well with so many guys and so few girls there is bound to be "ropes" everywhere There were a fair number of ladies last year. The the ones that were there were most fair.
ncascademtns Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Looks like I may have a free weekend. Enjoyed Friday night last year. Hopefully plan to stay the whole weekend. Excellent!
james_e Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 sounds awesome. i'll try to clear my busy schedule for this. it'll be my first year coming . see yall on the flipside
Kitergal Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 k. help me out...what the heck is a 4th annual rope up? Can noobies go? I can't make it friday night (hosting a murder mystery party at my place...anyone wanna come? I need more actors!!) But I can definately head that way come Saturday morning...if of course...noobies are welcome! Please advise! Thanks Marie
specialed Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 If you think murder mystery parties are a good time, you definitly can't go.
Dru Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Maybe we should kill catbirdseat at the rope up and Marie can try and figure out who did it.
Greg_W Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Maybe we should kill catbirdseat at the rope up and Marie can try and figure out who did it. I like this idea.
catbirdseat Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Greg, I'll bet you do. In answer to Marie's question, yes, of course, newbies are welcome. If you are lucky, Dru will say hi to you, but more likely he'll sit on his ass and say, "no I'm not Dru".
Dru Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 CBS, if you pay me $20 or so, this year I will introduce myself
catbirdseat Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Dru, how ever do you deal with the paparazzi?
