JasonG Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Have you ever wondered what if would be like to traverse this ridgeline? If you live anywhere within a two-day drive of Mount Vernon, WA, then you'd better plan on coming in to town on Wednesday, October 3rd and find out! At this month's meeting of the Skagit Alpine Club, Wayne will be telling tales of four new routes in the Pickets including Mongo Ridge and the Southern (photo above) and Northern Picket Traverses. With many FAs to his name, Wayne has been climbing for decades in the Cascades and greater ranges. The first ever recipient of the Fred Beckey Award from the American Alpine Club, Wayne has authored feature pieces for both the American Alpine and Northwest Mountain Journals. This show is not to be missed! The meeting will be at Skagit valley College, Nelson Hall Room 120, 7pm. http://www.skagit.edu/images/color_mvCampus.pdf There will be refreshments, but not of the alcoholic kind. We'll remedy that after the show at the Porterhouse . . . Cheers, Jason Griffith
Tony_Bentley Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Hellz yes I will be there. Can't wait to meet the Skagit folks, being new to this county and all. Nice photo.
Hendershot Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 But the Billie Jean is not my lover, so I'll be there
kevbone Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Wayne.....wish we (Opdyke0 I could make it. We did catch the show you did a couple of years ago at the lucky lab.....great pics....take care.
TeleRoss Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Don't worry Wayne...Sky and I are will bring a raucous Seattle contingent...complete with tequila and t-shirts saying that we knew Wayne before Mongo! Looking forward to the show!
Dannible Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Does this thing cost money? I might be around those parts.
Blake Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 i think its free. either way it will be less costly than entertainment from last night.
thelawgoddess Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 dammit! how come i always miss this stuff? sorry i missed you, wayne! you doing an encore somewhere?
wayne Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Dang Law, It woulda been great to see you. There were a good number of cc'ers there.
thelawgoddess Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 i know, i know - i am SO SUCK. i totally would have come. i just haven't been on here for over a month. dammit!!! i still think there should be some option to have the entire events forum emailed to me on a regular basis ... but i will try to check in more often. any other shows coming up?
JasonG Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Indeed, the presentation took our monthly meeting to a new level! Thanks to Wayne for bringing in quite a crowd. It's always fun to meet some new folks, so I hope ya'll will come back now and again. Skagit Valley isn't always as hick as it looks. Don't forget that Sky is up next month! Cheers, Jason
Blake Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 IS the loud-mouthed guy in the back going to be there again next month too? If not, i make a motion to reinstate him.
Recycled Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I second Blake's motion. Great show Wayne! Well worth the epic Skagit rain.
