Invitation to Minnesota climbers.

[TLHamel]

Anyone up for some Rec climbs in the Metro area? It occured to me that I don't really know any aborists/climbers other than who I work with. Sheesh! Climbing alone is getting boring and not a good idea from a safety standpoint. I'd like to kick some ideas around and, hey, the more friends you have in this industry the better.

 

[TLHamel]

I can see it now: Few hours of climbing and then shoot the %#&* over a cask-conditioned Surly Furious.

PM me your phone # and we'll get together next week down by the river for some high flyin' fun, weather permitting of course.

 

[RLEWIS]

If you were to get together with tophopper you better make it an all day afair. Your both "gearheads" and I have this vision of gear spread all over the area.

Plus the good thing is you could probably "sample" his home brew.

whata ya think John?? How bout this week-end when its suspose to be -13...

 

[tophopper]

Ha!-

whadya mean gearhead?

I only have the essentials

Running dangerously low on the home brews, I need to get to the kitchen and make some more.

One can hardly pay me to work in this weather Russ, what makes you think Id do it for kicks?

All day with Tophopper? It to me 17 "All days" and I still aint figured him out!

 

[TLHamel]

Thanks for calling it gear Russ, not "toys" like so many do.
Somehow an adjustable friction saver and a couple extra carabiners are "too many toys!".

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Toys aren't tax deductible...tools are!

LumberJack!! how you doin?? You spend THAT much time with John, and you will never be the same again!! I'm suprised you even made it home, instead of wandering around in the northwoods, never to be found or heard of again.

I've got the snakebite hung-- come up and give it a try-- the worst you could do is bend my "tree" again!! Of course you'll have to bring your own interpeter.. someone said I talked chinese.?? :0

Shoot over to Green Bay this weekend for the WAA beer drinking fest...I mean, Winter Arborist convention.
It'll be too cold to play outside anyway.

 

[TLHamel]

Thanks for the invite. I wish I could make it. Not much in the budget for a road trip. Single digit weather, single digits in the bank!
