The Devils Lake top rope cluster Fu&k thread...

 Love the fact that there is a long history of people talking shit/making life hard for the stuck up CMCers.

I like the old boys, they have a really nice group camp site...

even if you don't know any ....

There's a funny story the Supt. told me about how park law enforcement used to consider the CMC camp too dangerous to visit alone ... based on an actual incident.  

It's funny how undeserved reputations can be, and how people perpetuate them based on zero actual evidence.  And how even well-earned reputations can live on long after they are no longer valid.

I was in a bad way, having forgotten my single malt back at Wheeler's, and this good old boy at the CMC group camp sets me up right with three fingers of Talisker.

I'll never complain about them...they offered a spot to pass out as well, but my wife was there and I didn't want to leave her alone with them.

Its the DLFA that you have to worry about!

Don't drop the soap and hide the sheep.

You're obviously not a local.

The photos sum it up pretty much.

Fuckin'. Wat.

I guess it's also funny how we can have blinders on about what's gone on in the past or even right under our noses.

Wholly Jeebus. Would you please stop jabbering about nonsense and reserve this thread for top rope cluster Fu&k?

They’re a community group.  Sort of like the Boy Scouts.

FA = family association if I recall correctly.

Watch the documentary over a few beers and enjoy life. D.l.f.a.

See post immediately above. Spend $6, support a fellow van-dwelling climber/filmmaker, and learn something about The Lake!

Unless you're a FIB. No FIBs.

OK, I have been climbing at DL for 25 years and I never heard of DLFA.  I did climb with an old guy names Pete once that showed up and didn't have a partner.

Seriously see the link above and watch that documentary. It’s good and not just because my buddy made it. The Pete you climbed with is Pete Cleveland. He still lives in the blue house immediately west of the park and is in the park probably every weekend.
