EWolfe Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Sport-pullin' I made the PLAB sign, and will be there at 3 PM Friday. Whoever gets there first try to grab the usual spot, the group site just past the entry on the right. You don't have to stay there, just throw a couple of chairs by the fire pit.

RocNoggin Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 what do you guys do with your tent and sleeping gear while you are climbing? do you leave it all out at the Grasslands? theft isnt an issue? what does PLAB stand for? Mr.E, did you get my email about the ride? see you all at Smith! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Headin' in tomorrow afternoon w/ a bum shoulder. Will be climbing 5.mellows if anyone wants to let me tag along (my partner got sick - so I'll be flying solo.) See y'all down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Do the five pitch sport route out past monkey (kiss of the lepers area)... it's not in the book but 5 pitches of super easy super fun bolt clippin'! 5.8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 shit! 2 days 2 go - have we figured out some sort of mass beer consumption plan yet? or do i just have to watch a bunch of middle aged losers swilling pbr? I'll bring 5 gallons of my Festivale and a full keg of either Breakfast Porter, IPA or my ESG (extra special golden) If nobody reaches a quick consensus on witch one, I'll bring the golden...it's very quaffable. I'll also bring the taps & the buckets. If any body wants to kick down for some ice, that would be nice. Unfortunatly, I don't know yet when I can take off, but I'll be there sometime between 5pm & midnight today. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you..I'm even looking forward to climbing some shit. - steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchfest Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Steve, Love the IPA, but I've never had the golden...I say bring on the gold!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rock Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Steve! It'll be good to see ya. I'll be lurking by the Festivale. And while I'm a sucker for that porter I think the ESG would be a pretty good choice. BTW, you but 5 pitches of super easy super fun bolt clippin'! More like 1.2 pitchs of super easy fun, the rest is silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotzen Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 see above post Oh, right. I was just happy to have a kegful of good beer coming. Golden would be my choice. Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-rock Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Here's a thread with how to get there: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/s...true#Post253571 It actually wasn't that bad, just not that interesting IMO. I remember running the first two pitches together, then two pitches of a crappy traverse, ending with a fun last pitch on mini huecos. Most of it is a lot easier than 5.8 too.

John Frieh Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Good first multiple route for sportos looking to get into multipitch. One can run the first two pitches together if so inclined. Those (such as B-rock) who are a little more seasoned in the alpine/trad realm will find it a bit boring but for you first timers a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missin' the chance to hang with a hero/priest/devotee of one of the world's great religions. Personally, my faith is grounded in a love for the extended duration of the communion/sacrament-taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I had lots of fun climbing with y'all down in the gorge, thanks. good campfire too! why was it so mellow compared to the last 2 years though? thanks for coming down from canada canadians, MN Carolyn, and Issacraw Knotzen (sorry you had to split...i got a raging head cold too and felt like shit both days too). much was climbed, more was sprayed, and even more was drunk. i hurt.

sketchfest Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Wow, who would have thought that the Grasslands would be so absolutely packed this time of year. That place was a complete zoo this weekend! Had a great time climbing and drinking with everybody, got to catch up with a few folks I haven’t seen in a while: mtnhigh, winter, etc. Even had the pleasure of climbing with the beer god himself. By the way Steve, thanks for the beer and epic belay Saturday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to bump into you at the bonfire, Mr. Layton. You were one of the few people I recognized (of course, it was dark). Too bad you had a head cold. Head colds suck snot.
