If you want to carpool, please let me know, can meet at CMC at 3pm.

Weather Forecast (as of 5/2): Mostly sunny, with a high near 59. Breezy.

If we have not climbed together before I will be sending participants a pre-trip email asking about their experience, skill levels, and expectations for the trip. Review MP links below to have an idea of what routes you would be interested in climbing.

You must be knowledgeable in knot tying, anchor cleaning, belaying, and preferably lead belaying.

Lead climbing is not required, but you can if you have the experience after a skills check. Feel free to come and top rope only. I am more than happy to set a top rope.

I have ropes, draws, and anchors, but if you would like to use your own gear please bring it
