Autumn Rendezvous!

September 25, 2006

Whoo hoo, what a weekend! There were Bushwhackers all up and down Icicle Canyon. Condor Buttress, Eightmile Butress, Trundle Dome and others. Two eager hikers trekked to the summit of Little Annapurna on Saturday. In Tumwater Canyon, February Buttress and Castle Rock saw Bushwhacker climbing action. The Top Rope Outing was a success, and everyone participating in that had fun.

The Rendezvous camp at Lower Johnny Creek was great. There were a couple dozen people for the campfire and the morning-after pancake breakfast. And there was a family-style gathering at a cabin at the mouth of the canyon, which was very fun.

Cragging at Tieton

September 18, 2006

Seth, Frederic, Keith and Doxey took a day to go cragging at Tieton's Royal Columns. Frederic and Doxey stayed on the easier stuff, like Western Front and Nimrod's Nemesis, while Seth and Keith took on more difficult climbs. Seth led the roof on Render Us Weightless - wow! And Keith led the area classic Inca Roads. It was a great day out there!

Here is a photo of Keith leading Inca Roads. It's a butt-shot so it won't win any awards, but hey, its Inca Roads. I just had to take a picture! tongue.gif

September 12, 2006

We met at Allen's house. Attending were Seth, Steve, Allen, Jim, Katie, Perry and Doxey.

First we went over the action item list. This was a great way to start. It reminds us of on-going issues and get status on them.

We discussed the yearly cycle of Board meetings and how it fits with the summer recess. We might alter it somewhat.

We then discussed Board positions. Doxey will keep his seat on the Board, as will Perry and Seth. Jim will allow his post to expire in November. So Jim's seat will be open. Plus the Board created another seat in order to make sure there is new ideas coming in.

We discussed the Annual Club meeting. The meeting will be a little more formal this time. We won't be at a tavern, for instance, and although there will be some social time afterward, we will be getting down to business.

The Board then talked about outings in general and also the outings that happened this year and what can be learned from them.

We concluded by setting the next Board meeting for October 4 at Steve's house.
