Departure time will be determined based on availability of the participants, typically 8 - 9 am and a staggered start is acceptable.
Required Equipment
All personal gear including a PAS and climbing helmet is required. Bring a 60 m or 70 m rope (see note below), quickdraws, anchor materials, stick clip and radios if you have them.
NOTE: There are 2 routes that take a longer rope; Dirt Trek 5.8, 105' and Made in the Shade 5.9- 100' to the lower anchors, 125' to the upper anchors. I have no experience on Dirt Trek but plan to change this on this trip. For Made in the Shade the climbing between the lower and upper anchors is unspectacular and the lower anchors are recommended. NOTE: Made in the Shade requires 17 clips for the lower anchors, 20 for the upper anchors!
