EWolfe Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 How have the previous rock fest's been? i have usually taken this time to climb somewhere else since the crowds are in Leavenworth... well the one where I got the second keg at 10:00 and it was Scotch Ale was memorable.... Usually lots of free stuff, good slideshows, shoe demos, and free trainings. As well as good food and frosty beverages. The group site at Bridge creek is cool too. All in all a

eternalX Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I went last year and met MisterE. It's a great event to bring people new to the sport. I brought my gf and her friend and won some new shoes. Good mixture of people (experienced and not so much). Also met the guys from mgear, who were super nice. Last year it was pretty cold and rainy and the slideshow was a bit long for one speaker (like 2 hours? in the rain - good times). I'll prbably go this year.
Bug Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 I took my little girls last year. They loved it. We will go again if I have them that weekend.
thelawgoddess Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 i was going to think about stopping by but i just remembered i'll be in idaho that weekend. somebody grab me a free clif bar, would ya?
Marshall_B Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Rockfest Update The clinics are all confirmed and up at the rockfest website. Some of them include: Tommy and Beth are teaching an advanced technique clinic. John Race from the Northwest Mountain School will teach a rockrescue clinic. Anchor Setting (play with all the new cams). And many others as well. It's all free. I do this event as a community oriented event. We don't make money there. The money we make from the raffle will be given to a cause that we decide on at Rockfest. If you have any questions about it or want to sign up for clinics, feel free to contact me at rockfest@featheredfriends.com . Marshall
ClimbingGirl33 Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Sounds like fun - I can go for a day (either Saturday or Sunday: hope the weather is good for both). Anyone feel like a day trip?
SnowByrd Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 anyone planning on going to this?? I wish....I'm playing weekend Sailor this weekend.
Kitergal Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I'll be in the neighborhood...but Rafting down the wenatchee instead!! If time permits I may swing in...
featheredfriends Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 I was just taking a peek at all the stuff for the raffle - ya'll better not miss this one!
layton Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 I may be there and give clinics on sleeping under bridges, hurling your feces, water color drawing, pan flute playing, focusing the rage, wheelchair racing, helicopter signals, and how to pick up chicks.
Szyjakowski Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 how to pick up chicks. Is this the kinda chicks you pick up???
olyclimber Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 While I missed out on Layton's clinics, I made it to the 'fest, and was out there at the table for the Washington Climbers Coalition. I also did the short slideshow right before the "Tommy and Beth Show". Thanks to Feathered Friends and the other sponsors for putting the event on, and for their active support of the Washington Climber Coalition and the other grassroots efforts started by people that are working on to preserve access for climbers and help protect the climbing areas that we know and love.
Stretch75 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 You guys did a great job over the weekend. I'm glad the donation went to the WCC. Lots of good info with the clinics and all. Looking forward to next year!!
smithisheaven Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Is it just me or was there quite an "attitude" at the days events. I am a local climber and normally everyone you meet in the area is great and full of info, advice, suggestions and all but on saturday all I ran into were people who looked at me like I did not belong there. I was out bouldering with Beth and Tommy early in the day, which by the way was super fun and they had a great attitude about the area and were willing to talk and share info about routes and projects they had been working on. It made up for the others that must have been having a bad day. That night at the slide show the attitude was back in full force. Very clicky and I saw absolutly no locals, come on Wenatchee and Leavenworth get in gear and help support our sport. Just my .02 worth.
