Trip
Rock Climb – Boulder Canyon
Please sign up only if you have helmet, harness, climbing shoes, and a belay device (assisted braking device like Grigri or pinch preferred). Please share your climbing experience and where you are in the journey if we haven't climbed before while signing up. If you're an experienced climber and have been climbing for a while, please message me before registration starts and I can add you to the roster. This will allow us to open up the trip for more climbers looking to build experience. Let's take advantage of (weird to say) warmer weather in December to stay in climbing shape this winter. We will climb single pitch routes with fixed anchors at east facing & sunny Happy Hour Crag (mostly Top Rope unless a participant demonstrates ability to lead a trad route or with removable protection; there're no sport options at this crag). Climbing routes in the range of 5.5 to 5.11 (don't hesitate to sign up if you don't feel confident) Note: high wind or any weather change cancels this trip.
