2nd Annual Wisconsin Climber's Party
|
Kicking the climbing season off with a party, Saturday, May 11th, 2013! Climb hard on Saturday at Devil's Lake and then come party and camp out on the Wisconsin River Saturday evening (6 p.m.). Mike's Mix and the Wisconsin Climbers Association (WCA) are excited to co-sponsor this event to celebrate the spirit of Wisconsin climbing and its community. |
|
YES DUDE! |
|
Is this location somewhere upstream from the Mazo beach area? Just wondered.....not very familiar with that section of the river or access roads unless by the Mazo beach. |
|
We are approximately two miles up from the beach. Access is from Hwy Y which parallels the river until the beach. |
|
Sa-WEEET! |
|
Be there or be square! |
|
Hey all! In coordination with the Wisconsin Climbers Party, the Wisconsin Climbers Association is organizing a Garlic Mustard pull on the morning of Sat. May 11th at Devils Lake State Park. If your not familiar with GM, it's highly invasive and can take over a forest floor in a matter of a few years. |
|
Remo, do you have an upper bound on the number of people you can reasonably use? Hoofers and the DLCCC will be happy to bring people in as well. If we end up with more people than is ideal for you, we can split up into two groups: one working the garlic mustard pull, and the other tackling the graffiti at Cleo's. |
|
Gokul, we have no limit because we can just split up into smaller groups and tackle different areas. We can determine all that the morning of in the parking lot. Thank you guys for the interest in helping out! |
|
Although Remo is correct in that Garlic Mustard is a dangerous invasive species I must also point out that it is a very tasty wild edible and makes a terrific pesto. So my suggestion is to bring a bag home with you and use the tender young leaves to eat. I would be happy to post up a recipe for my pesto before the event if anyone is interested. |
|
I saw some of this last weekend somewhere just beyond the Old Sandstone area. Has this been a problem for a while or just recently? Sounds like it can be a real pain, good idea getting out there and clearing it up. |
|
Also, I have heard that if you smoke it you will achieve enlightenment though fukness. |
|
Hey Remo! What time are you planning on meeting in the CCC lot? I've got some people from VE Warrenville, and also from Turners that may be able to come help out. |
|
9:00am Carl. |

Bump! |

Wondering if any one from the party lost a piece of gear? |
