Current Entry: Cabin Crawl
The Cabin Crawl, a simple stunt where the point is to circumnavigate a cabin without touching the floor, was long famed in Winter Camp lore as an event which had never been launched. Dave Woods took a shot at it at Winter Camp XX in the BC building. He was successful until he stepped on a nail, when he learned that "barefoot" might not be the best way to travel.
Although it had never before been attempted at Winter Camp, there had been many previous cabin crawls at Charles Howell. Most noteworthy among them were one at Ranger and one at Iroquois, Downriver chapter's adopted cabin. At Ranger, a twelve-man cabin, the crawl was done for speed and the record was set by Paul Duran, who completed it in less than thirty seconds. At Iroquois, Matt Mittino provided great entertainment. First, while attempting it on the exterior, he fell from the roof in exactly the same spot five or six times. Later, on the indoor course, he was able to wedge himself into a corner of the building and stayed there for several minutes until he finally became bored. (LP, SD)
