olyclimber Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Climbing @ secret spot in the tumwater canyon. Perfect temps, 0 clouds. Special moments.
olyclimber Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 solid Ropeup! that was a great weekend, lots of faces new and old to me. we pretty near emptied both kegs, so i appreciate all who did me the favor of emptying them so i would not throw out my back loading them up into my truck. also, an IMPRESSIVE number of Polish sausages were consumed. more later, but a big thanks to: Steve @ Terminal Gravity!!!!! Sol (Slideshow +he passed the hat for the Index Fund!) Who ever loaned the laptop for Sol's slideshow Wayne (movies + years of supporting the ropeup with slideshows) Telemarker (Slideshow with a a couple of "bonus" slides) Marcin (projector and laptop) Geoff for the screen Britta for making breakfast Sobo and Kurt and others for sticking around to help me close out the campsite "leave no trace" style. all that lended a hand when something needed to be done. Everyone who showed up. this was one of a my favorite ropeups todate to put on. I really like the Bridge Creek groupsite, and the work I did in clarifying our image with the campground host and the Forest Service paid off I think. we also had a good campfire both Friday and Saturday night, and many many lies were swapped i'm sure. unfortunately the group that showed up may have permanently ruined CC.com's reputation for being a bunch of near'do-wells.
telemarker Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I had a great time Friday night! Thanks Porter for taking the time to set this up, schmoozing the hosts, making prurient comparisons of people's brats.
YocumRidge Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 The beer looks nice but what did you guys climb?
Dirtyleaf Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Why. What kind of beer did you drink this weekend?
sobo Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I alternated "For the Strong" with "For the Weak" on a 1:1 ratio. Really helps to extend the drinking time and moderate the intoxication level. You have to know these things when you're a king, you know... mito100- Which one were you?
Winter Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Last time I drank something Steve labeled as "strong" I don't think I got out of bed for two days.
olyclimber Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 heh..."For the Strong" = Terminal Gravity IPA "For the Weak" = Terminal Gravity ESG both were awesome.
Bug Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Nobody mentioned there were going to be two girls there.
olyclimber Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 there were many wimminfolk there. more than some previous ropeups at least!
Off_White Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 oh yes! its just called sausage fest because it is normally held at a Sausage Place! Usually at least one girl shows up. And kicks your ass in the push up contest! Sorry to miss rope up this year, it was terribly inconsiderate of my Massachusetts dwelling mother-in-law to have a 90th birthday party on the same weekend, and my attendance there was less optional than I once thought.
tanstaafl Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 well at least now you're not going to have to buy a treadmill.
Sol Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks for the great ropeup PORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a blast showing slides on friday night, thanks everyone for your patience in figuring out our technical difficulties and thanks Max Hasson for sorting out those technical difficulties. I was able to raise $85 bucks for the WCC Index fund!
olyclimber Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 do you think this circus tent would work well for Ropeup 2010? http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/spo/1395732661.html
Dirtyleaf Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 At the height of gender specific diversity I think the Fmale-male ratio was down to 1:15!
Pete_H Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'm glad I couldn't go to your dumb party. Looks stoopid.
Dirtyleaf Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 But, you missed the vintage porn sliced into John's slideshow. I forgot where I was for a couple minutes.
Dirtyleaf Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I thought I was sitting at home in front of my computer, eating ice cream, and....
olyclimber Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 well the real reason pete couldn't make it is because he quit climbing and drinking.
