Description

Have you had to spend a night outside without a
tent? If not, here is your chance to try. Come bivvy near the third peak of
the chief with the most excellent company (ACC/VOC), and then join us for
breakfast early on Saturday morning. The VOC are celebrating 100 years of
their club pretty soon, and this joint event will help kick of a week of
celebrations for them.

We’ll meet at 7:00pm on Friday, hike up the
backside trail to Slahney, and then traverse the to
third peak to setup camp for the night.

Rules & Logistics

• No tents.
• No backpacks allowed (get creative).
• You need at least one hand available for
  scrambling up the via-ferrata.
• We’ll need to shuttle cars – details TBA but
  vehicle logistics with be arranged closer to the
  time.
• We’ll hike down for breakfast at first-light.
  Food will be provided by the club, but we’ll be
  asking for a small donation towards parks for
  anyone that can afford to do so.
• Group camping strategies are acceptable and
  encouraged, but we won’t help facilitate the
  discussions on who who gets to be the “middle
  sandwich layer” or “big spoon”. Make some friends
  and make it happen!
• We will have a backpack with first/aid supplies
  and extra gear, food & water stashed away nearby.
  If hits midnight and you realize you made a big
  mistake, we can likely help (and worst case
  scenario it’s an easy one hour hike down), but
  there is an onus on you to attempt to stick it
  out!!
• There will definitely be hot chocolate at night
  and dessert in the morning for anyone that manages
  to bring a musical instrument (you also have to be
  able to play it though).
• There is a prize for the most creative bivvy.

Email Brian with your questions about this event or
just about cuddling in general after August 6th
(he’s currently in the mountains).

LNT Ethics, so anything you bring with has to be
packed out and we’ll have some wag-bags handy if
you just can’t wait.

Looking forward to memorable night, hope you can
make it!
