I'm going to have to decide closer to the time. My wife has a surgery scheduled in December and if her recovery isn't as quick as can be then I will have to be here... but if I go, I want to work AR.

I was a little surprised by this large group.
I only know about 1/3 you geezers.
P.S. "It takes one to know one."

It was a great time, as always! Until 2021!!
I'm finding that they need to give us more senior legends just a little more time in the events so we can catch our breath between bells.

It's a lot different of an event than it was in 2007 when I started volunteering. I'm not sure all the change is for the best.

I had a blast. I was great to see everyone. Fully enjoyed myself. Nobody over 50 in the masters this year. Would have been great to see an older climber in there again
Steve I'm just glad I can still do this stuff. The young guys are getting younger every year. Always good to get together at this event.
In this my second comp, I sunk 5 spots in the rankings compared to last year, but rose 11%. If I did better at one of the tasks last year, I did substantially worse this year, and vice versa (except the belayed speed climb...).
Watching @oldoakman ascend on Friday night was awesome. He's an absolute machine. Not the fastest, but just keeps going.
@Steve Connally had a rock solid climb on the Truework tree, grabbing third place. I got tangled in my climbing line like an AT-AT on Hoth at the first and easiest bell on that climb. I should have turned right. Then I did a clever scurry out the underside of a branch to avoid tripping the plumb bob with my 210 lbs., but had -2 points of unclever trouble on the exit with the awkward srt return from that position... I did really well on the other two bells, but ran out of time fumbling with the autobelay caribiner for the kiddie pool splashdown - total garbage, lol. Anyways, Steve you nailed it and, more importantly, looked like a natural in the kiddie pool.
@swingdude missed meeting you irl, my online friend. I was planning to dutifully admire your new pair of clipnsteps that you were saving for the comp. Maybe next year.
