[zebhaney]

The PSRTCC is now open for business! May 21 at Sylvester Park in downtown Olympia WA.

Tom Otto - Event coordinator - tom.otto@comcast.net
Zeb Haney - Head Judge - zeb@treeresource.com

I am looking for lots and lots of help on the judging staff. Particularly, I would like to have a tech in every tree that a climber will be in. We are going to have ab EMT on site and if anyone can bring some Advanced First Aid skills to the table, we'll put you to good use.

Its gonna be great!

[zebhaney]

Volunteers to me. The Portland crew is gonna show!

 

[pruninggal]

Cbugg, it's always great to see you climb - can't wait to learn from you again this year!

 

[cbugg]

Will the Head Judge allow light spur usage?

-sorry, I just had to tease... was funny at first.

 

[zebhaney]

Most of my last post I deleted before i submitted! Bring your spurs and we'll chuck 'em into mud bay together.

 

[unatool]

trade you for a good SRT demo.

I got some extra money burning a hole and I might just buy an ascender and pantin... maybe even some vegan treats!

 

[unatool]

Venue change: LIONS PARK 800 Wilson St E.

IS THIS CORRECT?

I looked @ google earth and it looks like a smaller park with 10 Fir trees... Hum. Trying to get excited to climb another DFir. Zeb, tell us how cool it is going to be!

 

[zebhaney]

Ohh, it will be cool. We hear from competitors frequently that it will be cool to have the events in Douglas-fir trees. There will be swings, traverses, and other ways to move around that will make the day a great event and you'll come away with new ideas and greater skills.

The venue is correct, more than 10 trees though. Check it out from street view.

 

[pruninggal]

Oh arg, speed belay in a DF, joy!

 

[cbugg]

One more week! cant wait.

 

[unatool]

I recieved an email (ISA PNW) that asked me to report @ 5 pm Friday for gear inspect... that is going to prove diffulcult with work then traffic thru Seattle. We hope to skid into Olympia area by dinner time!

Zeb, hoping to do a gear check early morning Saturday. Should be easy, my gear is good!

 

[Roger_Barnett]

Finally some nice weather. I'm gonna try to make it down, cameras in tow. May I bring the Wraptor? Us oldsters on Geritol need a boost......

There won't be any funny stuff going on in the trees like this heron love, right? Oh well..

 

[unatool]

Nice weather, indeed!

will you please photoshop my new farmers tan?

For the rest of the country: It is warm here - 65 degrees!

 

[pruninggal]
