Knot Night!

Posted June 15, 2010 by Andy

This past Monday about a dozen of us Bushwhackers got together for some beer, pizza and ropework! Mario generously hosted the event at his awesome garage-climbing wall where we tied in and practiced some skills. Escape the belay was the main event. Several of us successfully worked out the Mule-Munter and saved our "fallen climbers", while other folks practiced everything from the clove hitch to the Texas Prussic.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and made it such a good time!

February Club Night a success

Posted February 17, 2010 by Doxey

Thanks to all that came out for February Club Night at Tutta Bella in Wallingford.  There were two dozen people there, including some people from this years glacier course.  Lots of talking about climbing and the club and also families and kids.  It was great!
