Flounder went crazy on me yesterday and sent a pre-blast for Cloverfield and THEN checked the calendar to see if it was open. Too late, Flounder, because Jolly’s got this one on lockdown – including a celebration of post #250-ish!
So, I encourage you to come on out to The Garden on Thursday and see what ‘ol Jolly’s got in store for the men brave enough to join me for this momentous occasion.
The Garden is known for one thing outside of the fantastic PAX that call St. Patrick their home AO – and that is a hill with about a 65 degree grade [or at least that’s what it feels like when you’re trying to climb to the top]. So, you better believe that the “Hill of Stolen Souls” will be incorporated in some form or fashion.
To make sure that we keep safety in mind, here is the recommended pack list for the ascent:
- Hiking boots – because, duh!
- Carabineers – at least 2 locking and 2 regular…better safe than sorry!
- Rope – at least 200 feet – we’ll use this to tie off together so we don’t lose anyone.
- Ice axe – just in case we encounter icy conditions at the high elevation.
- Helmet – best to get a larger one so it fits over your F3 hat.
- Trekking poles – these are optional, but highly recommended for balance.
No, not really.
Big I would definitely bring gloves for coupon work…and a friend that you haven’t seen in a while in the gloom!
SYITG!
Jolly Rancher out!
