Kong Climbers

Postby chaz » Oct 17, 2009 8:41 am

Where are the Vertical Meniacs? How many Kong Climber T-Shirts did they pass out? Will there be another chance to do it again? I was told I climb like a striped Ape, but that T- shirt just doesn't appeal to me.

There were around 12 folks that did the 1,000 foot Kong Climb at this years TAG Fall Cave-In.
Kenny Chandler won with a time of 20 min. with Berta 2nd at 22 min.

Contest to climb 1,000 feet of rope in 30 min. or less (or as much as you can before the clock runs out at 30 min.)

Wait -- someone outclimbed Berta!?!? Did he have to go down to the crossroads and make a deal with the devil first?
