Description
The Wet and Wild Linkup consists of Swimming, Hiking, and Climbing 3 routes to get to the top of Mount Scott for a score based on Time minus difficulty factors explained below. This idea was dreamed up by J. Lozano and M. Johnson while taking a break at UMS between climbs. "We should swim across the lake and climb to the top!" After texting a friend A. Mitchell about the idea he said "Let's do it Monday!", so Wet and Wild was born with the first 3-man "Wet & Mild" linkup completed Oct 6 2020. First Wet & Wild linkup was open to be completed until June 8 2021 when Miles and John sent WW for 95 points.- Capture Start Time (waterproof watch or drybag)- Swim > 600 yds across Lake Lawtonka.- Hike on foot without assistance to Lower Mount Scott and climb any route of your choosing.- Hike on foot without assistance to Upper Mount Scott and climb any route of your choosing.- Hike on foot without assistance to Dreamboat Annie and climb any route.- Capture Finish time when last climber tops out final route.SCORING:- Time in Minutes - (total route grades x 3) - (5 points per trad route).- Example: 3 hrs 20 minutes - (27 x 3) - (15 trad points for 3 trad routes) = 104 points- Example 2: 3 hrs - (32 x 3) - (5 trad points for 1 Trad Lead and 2 sport routes) = 79 points-- Note route choice and climbing style in Tick or in comments below. I'll update the image to reflect completed W&W linkups.
