One more weekend on real rock before the season wraps up. This course is aimed at people who've climbed outside before and want a low pressure weekend to get comfortable again with anchors, crag belays, and general rope management. Beginners are welcome too. If you've done some gym routes and want to try the real thing, this is a good place to start.
Saturday, September 26
Introduction & Orientation: Welcome, safety briefing, gear check, and an overview of the plan.
Climb: We'll head out to a local crag and spend the day on easier lines to warm up and get comfortable with the surroundings.
Sunday, September 27
Climb: Depending on the group's fitness and energy, we'll head to a different crag to explore new terrain with slightly more involved routes.
