I was just wondering who all was going to the Pen Del West TCC. I will be out there tomorrow Friday evening. Right now I am going crazy trying to get things in order at home before I go. I have a gelding in the morning ropes to splice and a doctor apt before I leave. I hope to get out of here by 2.
Penn Del West ?

Probably the usual 4 to 6 apprentices and I guess up to 15 Journeymen. I am not competing, just going to buy some stuff and support a good friend who is competing.

I'll put a gentleman's bet on Big Jon to place 1st or second and his buddy Pat to finish in the top 5...

Jon called to check in from the competition. It was rainy and sounded like he was having a good day... I think he said 24 second footlock and 31 second belayed speed climb. Sounds goodrelative to his performance in the east, though the course could be set differently. He also said the limb on the work climb limb walk got broken.... guess they gotta deduct points for tree damage... Jon also said there was no friction saver set on one of the aerial rescue lines and I think he said it was a linden and the line was getting pretty sticky as it worked into the crotch.
Rain can be an advantage for those whom are used to working in it.

What a wetfest!!!
I spent time in the Sherrill van. Had to keep my hand on my wallet, too easy to spend money in there. Sherrill has a real nice setup in their van. I had to leave early though, I got a storm damage phone call that needed to be taken care of. So what were the final results?
