montypiton Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Corresponding with Eddie Espinoza regarding this event, I've identified some interest in, and support for, an "exhibition" category for "Crippled-up Old-Farts". Dr. Mark Shipman, who has broken his neck twice (the first time he was so completely paralyzed that a month after the injury, he phoned a colleague to gleefully announce "Tom! I'm gonna be okay! I FARTED today!!!) and still climbs well into the 5.10 and WI5 ranges at age 66 has tentatively committed. Glen Frese, once arguably the premiere waterfall ice climber in the Pacific Northwest, paralyzed below the sternum since a bicycling accident in the mid-nineties is a maybe - Glen may be paralyzed below the chest, but he WALKS with the aid of two canes. I'm working on Dave Jaecks, who in his mid-seventies cruises 5.10 on two fused ankles. Steph Abegg has not yet replied to my invitation. Katie Kemble is a long-shot, but ya never know... I'm workin' on it... If you are - or anyone you know is - one of these "miracle recoveries", please join us in an inspirational celebration of the benefits of the mountaineering lifestyle. PM me and/or respond to AAC-PNW to get in on the action. -Haireball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMR Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I assume there are consent forms? Is there a way to get the form to bring down, as i will have minors traveling with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAC-PNW Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I asked the CAMP guys for a copy of the waiver to fill out and will email to everyone who's pre-registered. In the meantime, the rules and format got released for the comp! This will be a fun one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
