John Frieh Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Five years running! Sunday September 26th at the Portland Rock Gym Competition starts at 5 pm: be on time if you want to compete! We fill up every year and have to turn people away that show up late! Gear demo and fondling starts at 6 pm. Demo new tools from Black Diamond, Petzl, Grivel and others! Mr Aaron Mulkey will be doing the slideshow this year. Ever wonder what all the hype about Cody, Wyoming is? COME FIND OUT! We will be raising $$$ for Hyalite and the Washington Climbers Coalition again this year. Bring some dollar bills and plan on winning some great prizes! MOST IMPORTANTLY: FREE Adult Beverages! It's never too early to start carb loading for ice season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denalidave Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm coming for more BOOTY (and a good cause)! I've been pretty happy with the raffle results, two years running...

billcoe Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Love Rick but I'll go $20 on the hound. Assuming Marcus and John are officiating this year of course and Layton stays with the Harem in SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevino Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Does the comp work the same way as the one at stone gardens a couple years back? Everyone does any easier route the top times are the finalist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Does the comp work the same way as the one at stone gardens a couple years back? Everyone does any easier route the top times are the finalist? Yes. High point and time on the prelim route will determine who does and doesnt go onto the finals. Men's and Women's divisions. That said as far as comps go this is thee most informal comp you will find. If you plan on competing bring your shoes and harness and some $ for an entry fee into the comp. If you prefer gloves or chalk or your own tools bring them. We have filled up the last few years running so if you show up at 6:30 and still expect to compete dont act surprised if we turn you away. Bring some $$$ as we are raising money for the Washington Climbers Coalition and Hyalite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would highly recommend catching this one also if you're in town Thank you for the heads up about the 24th. I'll check it out if we're in town. By the way, congrats on your epic row time even though you missed a climbing opportunity. Win some, lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 congrats on your epic row time even though you missed a climbing opportunity. Win some, lose some. Thanks but I would argue epic would be a sub 17. Sub 18 for guys of my size is respectable at best. And rowing is for people scared of the AirDyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PRG was great enough to grant us permission to attach free hanging features to the wall this year! If you think you can dyno past a free hanging dagger I'll gladly let you try Nate! That said I distinctly recall running into you in the Hyalite parking lot... dust off those tools and come on out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
