jon Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 I can't believe how much stuff we have to raffle off. We might not even have time for slides. The drink special is in full effect.

olyclimber Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I will try to bring the same set of speakers i tried to give away at Ropeup that no one wanted. I know someone wants these things.
bigwallben Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Actually, I think it's up to 5 who've lead it, right? Todd Skinner Hugh Herr Alan Watts (he didn't send, but he still lead it) Mikey (edited for brain fart) Ben G. I've never attempted to Lead City park; nor have ever claimed to. Props to all who could endure the pain. And props to Drew Ruana who will outclimb us all. Ben
olyclimber Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Well he has age on his side. And a good coach. Sausagefest is NEXT weekend folks. Put it on your calender. It will be a good time, and it should be had by all.
pms Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I found a couple vintage pics of Steve on the Coleman Glacier in 79.
jon Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Where is his polypro? Hey folks seriously make sure you come on Sunday, please tell all your climbing friends, send out emails, facebook it, tweet it, spray paint it on police cars, WHATEVER! We have put a lot of work into this and it's going to be a really great event. Great food, a f'ing AMAZING beer "special", TONS of stuff to raffle off (can someone say Camalots?), some pretty awesome slide presenters like your American Alpine Club President. You will not miss this! We still have some space available if you want to show your slides. We want to stay true to our event and make sure that everyone who wants to show has the opportunity. Send me a PM if you are interested.
olyclimber Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Some of the stuff we have for the raffle (all proceeds got the WCC for Index): - A bunch of Black Diamond gear, including cams, packs, quickdraws, and much more. - Cilo Gear packs - Stone Gardens passes - CC.com apparel We have more gear coming from Pro Mountain Sports, Second Ascent, and various gear reps.
olyclimber Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Pete doesn't want anyone to come so that he can buy one raffle ticket and win all the prizes.
Pete_H Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I'm going but I'm not going to have any fun.
olyclimber Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I'm personally donating a few of the North Cascade National Park poster to the raffle. They also may be available for sale at the event. All proceeds of the sale of them goes to the WCC Index Fund as well.
olyclimber Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Second Ascent not only sponsors CC.com for you on a regular basis, they are throwing down for this event. They are kicking in a Gregory pack, a mammut rope, and limited edition Petzl Meteor helmet...all for the raffle for the WCC Index Fund. Come to Sausage Fest and get a raffle ticket or 10! Think of it as your personal homage to Princely Ambitions, Godzilla, Sloe Children, or Thin Fingers.
olyclimber Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 We have three main slide show presenters, and then we'll show others stuff, as time permits. We'll also have a the raffle drawing at some point. So far I have: Mountainmatt has a short presentation on a new route up at CBR called "the scoop". AlpineK/Feck has a video of his adventure up on the big E-Dawg.
olyclimber Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 jon told me last night he has a bunch of great items to add to the raffle. this is going to be a pretty awesome raffle, and so many prizes that the odds of winning something should be pretty good! beer from the roof of the world. also Tod from Edgeworks Climbing Gym in Tacoma will be at the Sausagefest, so you can buy a poster or two from him at the Sausagefest if you want one! This is yet ANOTHER Index fund raiser. Lets buy that dang wall already! Limited edition of 200, so better get yours before they are gone. I will also be personally donating 5 of the posters to the raffle.
jon Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 Hey where is the rest of the beer? And why is a case open? We've got at least $2000 worth of stuff to raffle off. Jackets, like 7 Packs, tons of T-shirts, A rope, Camalots, Biners.
OlympicMtnBoy Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Since I was there too I'll be helping (heckling) Mountainmatt with slides! More beer and shwag too, woohoo!
mountainmatt Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Warning to everyone, if OlympicMtnBoy is going, he will win all of the raffle prizes. .
YocumRidge Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Porter, you sure have perty hands. Looks like he climbs a lot!
olyclimber Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 let me know if you want the card for my manicurist. also, i've lost all modesty about my hands due to my work as a hand model.
olyclimber Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 John Scurlock is going to show pictures. Rumor is that there will only be two pictures, but I'm sure they will be good.
