[Billygoat]

Yeah, tell me about it....mines in fifth grade now.

 

 

C'mon folks, gotta spend time with the kids now! Plus lot's of beer and sausage for when the wee ones are asleep...

I could bring a 16 y/o boy for any of you with teens out there. He's a good climber, super fun and outgoing.

Did someone mention Lord of the Flies

The Kids Ropeup is the weekend after the upcoming one, by the way.

 

And we do have a group campsite, so bring your kid so he/she can play and get inspired by the other yound ilk.

We're still planning on coming.

Unfortunately we won't be able to make this one. I have a Mammut kids full body harness for sale though if anyone needs one. It's in excellent condition. $25. I can pop it in the mail on Friday for an extra few bucks and it should get to you in time for the Ropeup.

 

Have fun all! Take lots of pics so I can show my kids.

[Billygoat]

Will do

 

glad you're still on board Skeezix.

 

Look at Ulee the send monster!

Keepin' this thing up here, the more the merrier. We have plenty of room and gear. Chatter Creek is a great group site.

Ok OLY, I am heading to Wenatchee for business Friday and Saturday and cannot bring the kids. Rather than show up for a kid event without kids, I will bail and wish you the best. If however you are in need of gear or belayers for the kids, let me know and I will show up sat night and help out.

 

Good luck man, I know my kids would have enjoyed the heck out of the weekend.

The weather forecast is less than optimal...

[Alpinfox]

Saturday and Sunday are the best days of the week.

[Billygoat]

 

weather is looking better than it did a couple days ago

Sorry, I have to pull the plug, wife predicts rain so that's that.

[Billygoat]

10% chance of rain Saturday and Sunday, highs 68 f. 20% chance tonight.

[kenp]

I think she listens to that Chinese weather guru;

Usually Wong

[Billygoat]

 

Well, if you can change her mind, hope to see you there...

Here's some pix from this weekend:

That was a fun weekend! It was really great to meet some more people from cc.com and the kids of course had a really fun time. The weather was good too (better than the 100 degree temps from the weekend before). A few more pics:

Look Ma, 5.8 and no helmet! (I hope Ma doesn't cruise this site)

 

 

Hey Bill, got another packet of GU?!

 

 

And you thought saving for their College education is a labor of love, try belay slaving

 

 

Damn, where did I put that kid?

 

 

Sshhhhhh......

 

 

 

Another fine time in the Icicle! Great seeing you all there. I sure enjoyed sharing a few beers with everyone. Special thanks to Dave+Melissa Bale, Sean Woods, Viktor Kramar and his wife for the superlative local beta and hospitality

 

I'm heading to bed now....
