Open to climbers who have at least top rope climbing experience. We will top rope the main flow of the East Moffatt ice area. Approach will be on snowshoes with the final section either booting up or with crampons on. Specific gear list and additional details will be provided to the attendees via e-mail.
As a bonus, we will practice doing a weighted belay take-over at the end of the session. Specific gear for this will also be included in e-mail.
This climb is covered in "Cold Stoke" by Rob 'Griz' Ginieczki.
Note that this is a dog-friendly outing. Any dogs going must be acclimatized to being at a climbing crag.
Meet at the Sinclair station in Coal Creek at 8:30am. We will convoy from there to the East Moffatt Trailhead parking lot. We will gear up at the trailhead.
