Climb: 1st Annual PDX Ice Festival-Portland Rock Gym

 

Date of Climb: 10/14/2006

 

Trip Report:

So yeah... Last August Marcus was talking about having a kegger/informal get together at my house to get the locals together and build some stoke for ice season and well... a few months and a lot of emails later here it is.... the first ever PDX Ice Festival.

 

By the numbers:

Over 100 attendees shocked.gif

32 competitors in 3 divisions cantfocus.gif

1 keg and 7 cases bigdrink.gif

 

This would not have happened if not for the efforts of:

Gary Rall & the crew @ PRG: Gary was kind enough to let us use his gym for free! HUGE! If you see him or Kenny make sure to thank him and let him know you'd be stoked if he let us do it again next year!

Roger Strong aka the nicest most humble perpetually stoked guy I know. And he is an okay climber too wink.gif

Since the Detour Event at Smith Rock and the Reel Rock movie Event you the community has raised almost 1200.00 in donations and memeberships for the Access Fund. HUGE! rockband.gifthumbs_up.gifrockband.gifthumbs_up.gif

 

Extra big thanks to all of you that came from out of town (Jim, Matt and Jessie, Christian, Dave, Marcus, Mark and Cole Hauter, etc etc).

 

I know I totally forgot someone... my apologies! blush.gifblush.gifblush.gif

 

If would like to see this happen next year or would like to start drytooling locally on a regular basis give me a shout! See you out there! wazzup.gif

Unfortunately I would crush pretty much all of you at air hockey.

 

Nice job on the festival and thank you to PRG for removing that shitty 10- off the wall.

 

I'm surprised people below weren't wearing body armor and full face helmets to avoid being gaffed by falling hardware.
