Well guys, It happens to the best of us, and I'm no exception. I'm taking a Roadtrip to Vegas to do some climbing in mid June. It will be my second climbing trip in two months. However, to convince my girlfriend to go as my belayer, I had to compromise somewhat. I told her the only reason that I was going to Vegas was to climb as I don't really gamble... except with my life while climbing. She responded the only reason she would go to Vegas was ... not for gambling, but the other reason for which Vegas is known. No, not Cirque du Soleil.. marriage. So being the true climber that I am,( one who would do ANYTHING to climb ), I said OK. So how many others have scheduled a roadtrip with a marriage; either yours' or someone elses'? I would be really intrested to know if I am the only true lunatic here who would agree to get married to their belayer just to get in a climbing outing? Seriously, she is a great girl, who, although she isn't a great climber, loves to belay me. Even after I fell about 20' onto her while climbing at BRC. I honestly was going to climb an easy route and hang a ring at the anchors, and then video her on the climb, reaching the anchors and finding an engagement ring hanging there. It would have made a great post to this site, but the best laid plans, so the saying goes. She wasn't going to Vegas unless a marriage was involved, so I confessed that was the plan all along. If any of you are around June 15th, we will be the newly weds climbing at Red Rocks. Look for the grey KIA with Colorado plates.
Cheers!

Wow ... I will have to save that idea. I am planning to marry my GF anyway. She just sent her first 5.8! Vegas might be cool.

I meet a couple in Bishop in '92 that were on their honeymoon/climbing road trip...that they had been on for over a year!
Let me know the dates you'll be in Vegas CW. I'll come down and meet you.

Congrats. I'd love to go to Vegas, but I think that's the weekend I'm moving.

Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust:
A true story here: My buddy gets married and chooses our favorite climbing area to go camp/honeymoon with his non climbing, non camping wife. We give him the first 48 hours of wedded privacy. Then show up there to camp too, and we go off climbing for the next 3 days,,I forget what 'the wife' was left to do most of the days. No they did'nt get divorced. Got 3 kids who all love to climb too.

Charity said you aren't ever allowed around Rex again. Something about him running away from home and moving to Kentucky. (My dog Voice) What I said was I was moving out and changing my name to Kentucky dad. So get it right before I bite your Goolies.
OK Rex, sorry.
Cheers!

No wonder Rockratz wants me to get on here more. I went a whole Saturday climbing with climbingwall and never knew any of this. Whoops. Either way, congratulations and thanks for setting the bar so damn high for that nice ibex shirt. :) Bow to the king.
