Start your season outside with a weekend of rock climbing in the David Thompson corridor. This will be a weekend to "shake off the cobwebs" and enjoy some comradery. the anticipated climbing difficulty is of a more mellow variety (5.5+). If you can lead: great. If you want to top rope, that's also great. Climbing areas will be selected the night before each climbing day and will be selected from Shakakan, Happy People, Whirlpool Ridge, and Kootenay Plains (or similar).
