Climbing this Tuesday

Meeting at the Calgary Climbing Center this Tuesday at 6:30 to do some last minute climbing before sending Doc Nick off! Currently signed up are Crazy Kimber, Evo Doc, Janice, Matt and Matt...give a call if you want to join us (690-2494). Oh, and two last points of interest - Doc Nick is officially on vacation, so if you want to hang out during the day, give a call (attractive single women welcome). Secondly, this may be your last chance to give Doc Nick the many Christmas presents you've been finding all over town for him - he appreciates it, and thanks you in advance ;-)

The Infamous Gingerbread house

Weekend at Banff Jasper

Here's a snapshot/selection of pics from our gruelling Banff/Jasper experience - along with 5 hour 26 kilometer hikes with 2000 meters of elevation, we slipped and slided in the snow, prayed to the non-alcoholic gods, and fasted. Ahhh, fantasy world would be a much healthier place ;-) All pics can be found on calgaryclimbers.zoto.com


Kim and Ken Star Trekkin' across the universe


My little MJ (or blue-steel.blogspot.com) soaking up the mountains, just before his 360 spinout on the highway


About all I got to see of the glacier's...good thing Kim was wearing black so we could find her! ;-)


Can you believe it? This is Kimber the Monkey's first tree climb!

Ahhh, paying homage to our eastern roots, our dear Alexander Keith. For those that don't know:
I do solemnly pledge to be faithful
To Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale
The Ambrosia of ales
and Emissary of Nova Scotia Good Times
As long as I am able to lift glass aloft.

Slainte Mhath!

Sunday, November 19th Indoor Climbing

As we're going to crazy party at Ceiles Saturday night, we're forgoing our usual breakfast meeting (as if we do, there will likely be no climbing done!) We'll be meeting at 1 pm for climbing (gym to be determined) and will likely climb till about 5ish - after that we'll possibly be going out to grab some grub.

If you want to meet up, or are wondering where to go, you can call Nic at 690-2494. leave a note and let us know you're coming!
