Bug Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 As always, cc.com outings are a true: Thanks all who helped out, and to the slideshow presenters. I must say the tone is a WHOLE lot different than the tufflove fests at smith with the cc.com crew. Not as openly friendly of a crew...which seems to be very Seattle That's my sausage in the upper right. Perfection like that was found all weekend. Now about this shit about us Seattlites not being friendly?! No way. I laughed at two of your jokes. It was fun to see everybody there.
Rad Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Not as openly friendly of a crew...which seems to be very Seattle That wasn't my experience. I feel lucky to have climbed, hung out, drank beers, and laughed with both new and old partners. And the weather was truly stunning. I didn't see any naked dancing on the tables, but then it was kinda chilly for that anyway.
Peter_Puget Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 But wait: there’s more. Rad wanted to see climbing pictures. I teamed up with Kurt Hicks and party for a low stress day on Saturday, and it was SPECTACULAR. Here’s Kurt leading a slab route (I don’t remember the name or it): Is this a 5.9 route that climbs a big detached block behind a tree higher up? A bit scruffier up higher too.
kurthicks Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) yep. It's "Cutting Teeth" a 5.9 on Domestic Dome. It was very recently retroed--there was still rock dust below the new bolts. I still think the last 2 bolts aren't in quite the right place, but I didn't put them there, so what can I say about it? edit to add: please go back and remove the manky bolts that you left on the route. Also, although the old 3/8 bolt still seems ok, it might as well be pulled and replaced so that the entire route has new fixed gear on it. Edited October 15, 2007 by kurthicks
mattp Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I must say the tone is a WHOLE lot different than the tufflove fests at smith with the cc.com crew. Not as openly friendly of a crew...which seems to be very Seattle Just because somebody from ELLENSBURG shot out your tail light.

kurthicks Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 so i did... here's what the Good Doctor had to say about the festivities We got some beta about this new 5.7 just right of Surf's Up near Trundle Dome. An excellent route! I led it twice back to back it was that good. here's my brother dave on it.
AlpineK Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Matt posted this picture, and I liked it on the other thread. I don't have very many pictures of me climbing.
mattp Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 so i did... here's what the Good Doctor had to say about the festivities Would that be the same guy who called us unfriendly? I guess you gotta know the secret handshake.
TrogdortheBurninator Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 that is a sweet picture Kurt (and Matt)! congrats on your first post-injury trad leads!

olyclimber Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 I slathered Mike with love the moment he arrived. He was still trying to get it off his body the next day.
marylou Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 OKOKOK. I didn't go this year because I'm broken, but now looking at the pictures and stuff I really wish I had gone instead of staying home and going to Costco. Looks like it was great fun and of course the weather was stellar! I should have gone over and helped Porter keep the bench warm.
Alpinfox Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Why is Pax always present for the shooting incidents? Gun freak.
layton Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Okokok, I'm just used to Ivan stirring the pot and Wherly passing out ontop of his tent.
Sherri Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I baked a cake. That was friendly. Sorry if you didn't get a slice. I've still got the recipe around here if anyone wants a copy(for the "blackberry impossible pie".)
amber10_79 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I wish I had been able to go!!! It looks like you guys had a great time! Unfortunatly, a financial 'emergencey' (i.e. I was flat broke) kept me from attending this year, as I had hoped to do. Ahhhh well....*sigh* maybe next year....?
AlpineK Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Okokok, I'm just used to Ivan stirring the pot and Wherly passing out ontop of his tent. Seeing Wherly the next morning after passing out on top of his tent was pretty good. I also had a good time watching Rat encourage you to wake up Jeff H and ask him about an early morning ascent of Hyperspace was also good.
DirtyHarry Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Soon after I started drinking off the keg straight from the tap, terrible things started happening all around. Right next to me a huge reptile was gnawing on a woman's neck, the forest floor was a blood soaked sponge - impossible to walk on it, no footing at all. "Get the crampons, Mike," I whispered. "Otherwise, we'll never get out of here alive. You notice those lizards don't have any trouble moving around in this muck - that's because they have claws on their feet." Mike paused, listening for an instant, then suddenly began running toward the car. "You cocksuckers!" he screamed over his shoulder. "We'll be back!" By the time we got the Camry back on the highway he was able to talk. "Jesus Christ! How did we get mixed up with that gang of psychotic bigots? Let's get the fuck out of this canyon. Those scumbags were trying to kill us!"
