Hey,
Count me in, probably fri night to sun night. I've got classes that I can't skip on Monday. I'll probably be bringing between 2 and 5 people along, mostly beginers, but possibly a 5.10-5.12 or two. I'm doing my best to keep it low key because nobody I've talked to has ever climbed before, but if you want me to put out an open invitation to some collegiate drinkers, I know quite a few who really want to give it a shot.
N8
P.S.
Thanks Russman and Russmanswife for the climbing outing today, I had a great time and it looks like I've got a couple of future climbers on my hands.

N8...I would say...no stritly collegiate drinkers who might be interested...only low key good friendly types that do want to climb.
As far as the outing....it was fun. Can't wait to get out again for practice....Krusty...when you comin over

Count my girl and I in from Friday night to Sunday. Thinking about pitching the old tent in the backyard if I'm early enough to get a spot, otherwise I'll plan on spending another night at the coulee. I've climbed there bunches of times since 1994, when there was hardly anyone around. Looking forward to getting to know so climbers and also maybe take some video so that some of the other RC.commers can see what us WA folks are all about. Hope that okay

This sounds like it is going to be quite the gig!
Since last posting and saying Marmot and I would be there...life has happened. We have been living in Tacoma while Marmot works in Seattle. Well things finally fell into place and we found a good place in Seattle to move too. (Only two miles to Vertcal World!) Anyway we are up to our noses in this moving thing. We have to be out of where we are and into the new place by the 31st of October. So we had to change the days off that we planned before or after the climbing gig to moving days. Leaving only the saturday and sunday as possible days to show up and climb. It will all depend on how well things are going and if we can take that weekend away from home at all. We still want to make this work...but there is a good chance we will have to bow out since it is the last weekend we have before we move. Anyway...that's the story.
Happy Climbing!

well, darnit all anyway! Put Marmot and Otter down as 0 for 2 on your score cards.
Too much stuff is going on with this move for us to be able to make the gig. We've got a bunch of stuff that needs to go to be stored with family, and guess the only weekend we can make the trip to do it? Yepper, the weekend of the gig!
Have fun everyone. Sorry to miss another one

Well, my frineds. The time is getting closer, we have had a few ppl have to bail. But I still plan on a nice GiG for our climibng event.
Let me warn everyone now....it has been getting into the high 30's at night latley and averaging aroudn 60 in the days. I will keep everyone up-to-date on the weather as we near the date.
I did gain access to a HUGE BBQ for Sat night. All we got to do is fill it with propane and run it thru the car wash when we are done. That will be a nice edition.
For those who may not like the cold. I do have a wood fireplace in my garage...but as stated before, all concrete floor and I have oly one crashpad...we we can use that as a mock house with heat too
Bobbi, Hunter and I are lookign forward to seeing/meeting you all and showing you around our backyard (literally and at the Coulee )
Jared don't forget the cigs....I got lots of fresh elk stakes

Is there a place to hang my Krustyledge from the rafters in the garage?
If so I have picked my spot, up high where the heat is! I love to sleep on my ledge any chance I get.
If this week goes well I may have some more "game" to put on the cooker!
Jeff
I recieved a PM today fron a young lady who says she wants in... I told her she is welcome to join in, and she'll be bringing a freind... She calls herself Annathe1st, and said she was not able to post in the thread. As someone "official" maybe you could follow up on her Russman???

Forgot to reply Krusty....should be plenty of room in the rafters.....might be close to the fire though....I would say if you have room and it is easy to carry....throw it in and we can figure something out....always room in the air.

OK everyone sorry for all these questions, but,
Where and around what time is everyone hooking up to climb on Saturday?
Never climbed there before, are they all trad or some bolted runs, as I am a bit light on the rack?
Do we need some sort of parking permit?
Does anyone need a ride from seattle?
Russman, I can bring some chairs- what else is needed?
Do I sound like I am totally lost or just a total moron.

I suggested to have them start early climbing down there...will be cold for a few hours...but by 10-11...EVERYONE comes out of the woodwork.
You will should get a pass...they are a state pass and you can get them where ever you can buy a hunting license.
chairs...BEER...and soem food. We have a grocery close and I got lots of wood for the fire...
Both sport and trad...most us use are sprot climbers...but there will be some trad also.
I think I answered. PM with any more ?s

It seemed as if a few people are backing out, I am not sure how many are coming now, but I asked a friend from the University of Idaho and she is coming and bringing one friend. So add 2 to the list.
