I can't wait.

[rob]

Me too. My wife already has the bail money standing by.

I'm thinking I'll try and bring some firewood. I don't have a ton like I used to in the old days. Plus this time I'll have to load up firewood and bring it to Rope up via Spokane. I guess I'll end up staying in a motel in Spokane for a couple days prior to Rope Up.

 

Right now I'm trying to remember the lyrics and name of that country song that goes, "I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel....."

 

Somebody else should bring firewood too.

Looks like we may have an interesting guest for the slideshow thanks to Mark McKillop. I'll let you know when I iron out the details...

[pms]

One of the Icicle Spiders perhaps?

[olyclimber]

a white ex-punk who is not on dope

[AlpineK]

Can I give a hint? Sorry I'll keep my mouth shut.

[olyclimber]

Wait till i confirm he can make it. My hint above is good enough!

[olyclimber]

OK, I can let the cat out of the bag...Doug Klewin is going to be showing slides from back in the day. Doug (with Todd Bibler) was the first to climb Moonflower Buttress to the summit of Hunter, but also has done tons of climbing here in the northwest (including in the Icicle and even put a up a few routes at Index).

 

If someone has a regular (non-digital) slide projector that they can bring up, please let me know, we'll need it for Doug's show.

 

 

[mattp]

projector covered.

[olyclimber]

All who intend to show some slides PM me so I can make arrangements. Thanks

[Dannible]

Just found out they're making me work next weekend. I've been honing my keg emptying skillz for weeks to get ready.

[mythosgrl]

Dan- that sucks! We'll miss you!

[AlpineK]

Any chance we could get a keg of BibiCaffe Espresso Drink or Clausthaler Premium NA.

Bring some firewood this weekend!

 

 

[Sherri]

You could roast a lot of weenies with a pile like that.

[olyclimber]

I wish we had that to burn. But we need you to bring some wood.

 

 

For the slideshow I have a lot of people who might be able to show.

 

The following are definitely showing:

 

Doug Klewin- I'll let others chime in about how cool this one is going to be.

Tony Bentley- If you remember his show from last year, Tony puts together a very entertaining collage of images and video.

 

Let me know if I can add your name to the list.

[AlpineK]

Doug Klewin rules.

 

White punks on rope.

I wish you guys would stop holding this on Opening Day.

Have fun all!

Question....never been to Rope-Up or any CC.com events for that matter, and planning on coming this year. I reckon I need to post for a rideshare, but how's the climbing shake out. Do I need to arrange for a climbing partner/itinerary ahead of time, or do folks just wander out from the campground and sort out partners/belayers at the crags?

[olyclimber]

Alot of people tend to head up with partners/objectives in mind...so if you're hoping to do something in particular it wouldn't hurt to have a partner lined up. But you can also just hook up with who ever is there too.

I will be leaving from Issaquah Friday after 1:30.

PM me if you can leave that early and need a ride.

I will be climbing 5.9 and easier and will be looking for partners.

If it's dry i'll be there. Hopefully Ozone and Midnight
