Don_Serl Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 free entry? i.e., only pay for the beer? or??? (what?) (if it's not too nasty, it's tempting to give the bike a bit of exercise...) nice opportunity to fire up keen-ness for the upcoming season. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonegardens Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Don, it is technically a free event, but everyone is strongly encouraged to buy raffle tickets, especially if you are doing the comp or drinking beer. The stuff we will be raffling is sweet and the money is going to the Access Fund, so hopefully folks won't be shy about buying tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Tapping the keg before the final? Sounds like a handicapping system!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonegardens Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Good point Alex. I should have mentioned that if you are climbing in the finals, you cannot drink beer (until after you climb ). -SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 We are donating a ton of stuff for this, should be some good prizes. Any competitor who wears a cc.com shirt in the final I will donate $25 to Northwest Harvest, up to $200. Northwest Harvest can feed a family of 3 a meal for $0.63, that's 120 meals for those who are suffering more then your 401k right now. Send me a PM if you don't have a shirt and I will tell you how to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevino Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Do you just show up at 5 to compete or do you have to sign up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Show up before 5 to sign up as it is first come first served. There will be a limit on the number of people who can enter the comp (overall) just because it takes time to run folks though. If you don't want to compete, but want to demo we're going to have 2 demo routes setup so you can try out tools. We're also going to have an ice block for demoing ice screws! and tell your friends to come! The shops and sponsors have REALLY thrown down for this event! :tup: Several ice tools, crampons, product, gift certs, etc etc etc have been donated. This will be a great community event!

stonegardens Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Stoke! The weather looks not so good this Sat, so come on down! We just ordered the Islander Pale ale and Nightwatch from Maritime. The route setters have some sick ideas, so it promises to be a great event. As Dave said, it's first come first serve to compete, so make sure you get here early to sign up!

selkirk Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 any idea how stiff the comp routes will be? Sounds like fun but there's the whole issue that I suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The comp routes are going to be fun fun fun! You should definitely enter if you're thinking about it! No prior drytooling experience is necessary. Also note that all of the demo and comp routes are going to be INSIDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And great job to those who set up the comp routes Now I just wish I could actually work them for a while Maybe next year I'll actually get my ass in shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
