NOMINATIONS! (I’ll send another email regarding this soon)

-Kurt+Ben: Libby road over break. Did lots of NH things. They also did some naked trap shooting. Sounds frisky. Then they climbed Cathedral on Saturday. Kurt climbed in a long blonde SWUG wig without clothing. He did his first trad lead like this with little protection.

-Emmett: 18 day river trip in Quebec. All out of fresh food, so they were eating pasta, etc. A float plane flew in one evening and later some hunters came over in their boat yelling “I’ve got the liquor!!” He immediately became worried since he was with lots of kiddos. They showed up with a bucket of food and frozen bottled water and offered rides in their float plane. Later Emmett made a cake to bring to the hunters but they wouldn’t come to the door when they knocked so they sent the cake through a window.

-Alex: “Getting naked lends itself to awesome stories.” Emma, Alex and others did some naked two-wheel shredding at Sugarloaf for the naked calendar. They decided to try a four person group photo. Another group of riders stumbled upon them while they were taking off their clothes. Emma ran away while Alex chatted the guys up in nothing but a helmet and bike shoes. An older woman in the group asked how she could get a calendar.

-Ben: The first time he ever heard Callum swear. They were working on a new top rope route. Then a guy comes over and tells them that the “reverse chicken wing” is required to do the route and Callum corrected him and said that it’s not called a F**king reverse chicken wing.

Dueces,
