Penn Del Climbing Comps

The dates and locations are set. Check the chapter web site for information, registration, and directions.

I would encourage all climbers to come out and compete. Penn-Del has a good apprentice catagory for climbers with less than two years experience, We have plenty of top notch climbers as well.
One of the things I have always liked is that the organizers go out of their way to match less experienced climbers in groups with experienced climbers.
I have learned tons over the years and strongly encourage all to give it a try. Watching is one thing, but doing is another. I have embarrased myself many times and have no regrets, only a bunch of funny stories and good memories. Ask Roachy he'll tell you about a few of my escepades!

Show up, men and women, I and the rest of the "regulars" will do all we can to help you have a sucessful day.

no comment Tony.

But Tony's right its a great time for all and great chance to learn from climbers in your area.
I'll be there to make sure Tony does his best to make you laugh

 

[pancake]

Are there spots for out of towners?

 

[richhoffman]

I'll just watch............can't compete with you guys!!!!

 

[Riggs]

The Grand prize is huge . Half show up to learn , and half show up to win . Always a good time.

 

[Tony]

Pancake,

The east comp fills up quick, but there are always a few "out of towners"

Rich,

You don't have to compete with or against us. My best comps are the ones where I put everybody else out of my mind and challenge myself. Win or lose, if you improve and learn then you have succeeded.

Riggs,

Are you running the footlock again?

[Riggs]

Oh yeah Tony . This will be my 20th tcc ( competitor/chair). always a great time seeing people get better every year . I'm stuck with the Flyers , Sixers and Phillies I have to cheer for something . Good luck , Roach looks like he has a little grey behind the ears .

When are the registration deadlines for us here? Been a few years since I competed. But I learned piles made a few good contacts for work.

 

[zaphod1798]

nevermind, Im an illiterate boob!

 

[UrbanLegend]

Do you guys need anymore Judges/techs? I may be in Pitt that week. So should be able to make the Western (Pitt) TCC. Are you still needing any assistants?

 

[Tony]

U.L.

Get me your contact info and I will put you in touch with somebody. I am sure they could always use a helping hand.

a little gray ,and a little wiser Glenn

 

[Riggs]

wiser is just another word for slower .

 

[Riggs]

Well , Roach , I'm sure you got the same email I just got about the scoring . I was just ribbing you , in my last reply . good job on sat . It would be a crime if climbers didn't get better after every TCC . We had twenty one journey men and eleven apprentice ( first time competitors) People ask me all the time ,"why bother? it's a wasted work day" I saw many tcc climbers , doing everything to help these guys . It's a pleasure to see a climber rise up from apprentice to chapter champion. There is only one winner , but I don't think anyone loses either. Hats off to Tim Bushnell for putting it all together , and the climbers for showing up . I went to the tavern down the road when it was over , ten minutes before the Kentucky derby , placed ten (dollars)down on Tioga , I lossed.
