Contest: Win An Access Fund Membership & Prize Pack

Thanks to everyone's continued support of the ads on Climbingnarc.com, it is already time for another donation to a climbing access cause. Given that it has been a long time since I have given anything away I thought that now would be a good time to combine the donation with a giveaway. Read on to see how you can win a prize pack valued at over $100, and at the same time support a great cause in the Access Fund!

    Well it's Kate of course. She might have just a little more experience than the other 2 @ LRC.

  4. Julian

    Kate McG. 400 points is too much.

  5. andres Claro

    Kate of course!

  6. Danny C

    Kate McGinnis

  7. eddie

    puccio, her forearms are at least 3 times as large as her competitors. duh.

    wag bag. yummy.

  8. Mark

    As much as I love the hometown girl and would love for Johnson to win, good money is on Kate McGinnis. Alex Johnson fell back to far and Kate is on a roll. Puccio is just stuck in the middle ground.

  9. steve schultz

    Kate, pucc, johnson.

  10. Eric Lang

    Kate McGinnis

  11. Jonathan Williams

    The Pooch will win, even though AJ is taller. KM in second.

  12. sock hands

    the pooch has been shredding it outside lately and could gain ground, but johnson has also been crushing hard lines on the quick... not multi-day projecting...[not to take away from puccio's sends, which i couldn't replicate to save my life, but johnson is sending stuff in a few minutes]. finally, it's *always* easier to have a high-mileage/high-octane day when you are repeating things, so i'd be shocked if kate didn't take the cake... also, the slopers of the south will not necessairly yeild to crimping power of puccio and johnson.

    rankings will stand:
    1. hometown
    2. minnesota
    3. bicepts

  13. Chris

    Alex Johnson.

    Alex Puccio to win. she is coming off a strong week/month in bishop. she is strong, she comes from behind for the W.

  23. greg

    Alex Puccio

  24. Adam

    McGinnis is going to take 'em down. She's been super consistent and I expect her to stay that way. The Pooch will come on strong but in the end McGinnis will reign supreme.

  25. Lynnatron

    I'm gonna say Johnson, cuz I know she climbs better when the pressure is off, and she has surprised me more than once...

  26. kyle

    Kate McGinnis

  27. PrimeTime

    Alex Johnson no doubt, dat girl will crush de rest of dem. no doubt booyakasha!

  28. Bruno

    Kate will win, she knows the climbs better.

    i'd like to force a break in the action to berate mr. narcface: MR. NARCFACE: YOUR FAILURE TO REPORT THE NEWS IN A RESPONSIBLE FASHION MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT! i heard on the news that it is national fritter day. for real. denver news said this at approx 5:57 am while i was on the basement wall. i stopped and listened. NATIONAL FRITTER DAY. it was true. they had indeed said it. i fully expected to come to work and log on and see an entire post devoted to mr. fritterface sweatpants and the sweet fruits of his labor.

    but no.

    nothing.

    nada.

    zero.

    zilch.

    YOU DABBED, SIR, YOU DABBED!

    POST UP NOW!

  31. Narc

    Thanks to everyone that registered their votes thus far. Keep them coming!

    To Mr. Sockhands - I am most definitely out of the loop regarding Mr. sweatpants and anything having to do with fritters. My deepest apologies!

  32. peter

    My money is on Kate winning the Triple Crown but Johnson winning LRC.

  33. Jimmy

    Kate McGinnis FTW!!

  34. sock hands

    fritterking sweaty: email me a photo of you with fritters in front of the family shop and i'll post it up. you can even wear a crown to be fritterking!

  35. steve schultz

    Alright, lets end this travesty of "officially" naming sweaty the fritterking!! I call DAB!!!

    Evidence # F!!! - http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos/Bouldering/Birthday_Challenge_Fritter_72825.html

    I have more if you need more proof of my awesome fritterness. Sweaty, this won't be finished until we have a challenge at the Greenbush to settle this. Warm up suits must be worn.

    I await your call.

  36. Cory

    Johnson, McGinnis, Huccio

  37. sock hands

    alright scubasteve, that's one damn fine job, but do you MAKE fritters? that is a key distinction. i can eats me some fritters too, but i don't make squat, so i cannot be crowned. maybe this: if sweaty can make a fritter so big that you cannot finish it, he still wins?

    also, i should be shipped a fritter of similar make, model, and size so that i can partake from home.

    finally: note that my ranking above was after dyslexifying puccio and johnson... i thought johnson was only the 400 down.... at 100 down, i'd say that AJ, while super dope awesome, has quite a bit of pulling to do before she could overcome the deficit on puccio.

    still, i'd like to hear of a valiant effort.

    AJ get it done!

  38. Rune

    Puccio

  39. Jason Lancaster

    My money would be on Alex Puccio, for sure.

  40. Tony

    Puccio
    AJ

  42. Cady

    Alex Puccio for the Win!

  43. Zachary

    Alex Johnson for the win.

  44. Adam

    It will be a tie between the Alex's, I say.

  45. RyanDubbya

    Alex Puccio to win it!

  46. Sean

    Kate McGinnis

  47. Rachel Melville

    1. Kate to take the cake
    2. AJ makin a comeback

    Alex P.

  51. Tom B.

    I'm thinking Kate's gonna win it all.

  52. Stacey

    I think Kate it'll win, but even if I'm wrong, you should just give me the package. It's time a girl won one of these contests, right ladies?

  53. Cannud

    McGinnis

  54. Narc

    If this wasn't for charity I would feel SOOOOOOOO used...

    ...and Stacey, it's a well kept secret that the ladies can't get enough of the climbingnarc.com action...

  55. steve schultz

    Touche' socky. I'll hold off on stealing sweaty's crown until I start cookin' up my own fritters.

    Next time, sweaty, next time.....

  56. TNChris

    McGinnis

  57. sweatpants

    I wish I had known that it was national fritter day. All these times I've come to the site thinking I was getting all the news and current events only to find out that it is Socktardextraordinair with the real news. Shame on you narcface. shame.

    @ scubanuts... eat my fritter shorts. you'll never catch me I'm the Fritterking4eva.

  58. calvinivlac

    Puccio

  59. sock hands

    lolz sweaty. i say build him [+me] the biggest fritter in all the land and see if he can handle it.

  60. Toddler

    Kate McGinnis

  61. cari

    Alex Johnson for sure!

  62. steve schultz

    I'll either handle it or puke. Either way, notch one in the "W" column for all of us.

    And sweaty, when are we gonna finally climb??? Can't believe you spent the summer at dodge and basically took fall off. major dab.

  63. sweatpants

    That was a large dabbaroo wasn't it. It was just easier for me to get out in the summer I guess. dab for sure. have you gone out there at all? find any new shit?

  64. steve schultz

    Havent found anything new yet. haven't really looked though. we're planning on snowshoeing through there this winter a few times. hopefully we'll find something worthwhile. We were up there this sunday but got snowed out. normally sketch topouts were turned into super-ultra-sketchball topouts. sad.

    i have an idea for next time though.....stick umbrellas....

  65. sweatpants

    genius sir! I now deem you the umbrellaking of the free world... we can abbrev that U.K.O.T.F.W. for your convenience and pop culture liking. your welcome

  66. sweatpants

    also i think kate is going to win. I voted for her because i know the other 2 and felt like voting for someone i dont know. a bit of a wildcard for me if you will. I look forward to claiming my free shit on monday.

    secret note to the narc... if you're not the narc stop reading now!

    I'll cut you in on the winnings if you can rig this for my. think about it.

  67. sock hands

    two words: circus tent.

    now YOU are the one who is welcome, sir.

  68. steve schultz

    three more words: inflatable bouncy castle.

    no more sketch landings. only bouncy goodness.

  69. Narc

    I should disqualify you three fool faces for hijacking this thread so bad!

    ...but I won't

  70. TMI

    McGinnis, Puccio, Johnson

  71. sweatpants

    3 extra words for your two's 5 words: giant fritter pads

    Why bring your lunch in a bag when you can strap it on your back and use it to pad your fall. then at the end of the day you get a delicious snack. inurfaceswithsugarygoodnessfools....

    also, im not sure that i like your attitude narcballs. curb your rhoadyness...

  72. Narc

    On 2nd thought, maybe I should encourage you guys to continue rambling off topic so this post can get to 100 comments...
