An Afternoon (All-Day, Really) at the Cotton Club (NRG Int. Sport Climbing)

OVERVIEW

*JAZZ MUSIC* *sipping apple juice out the fireball bottle, WITH THE BOYS*
Good evening, outdoors people!! Welcome to the best day of your spring semester. Cotton Club and Cotton Top are friggin awesome. The grades range from a super classic 5.8 to some 11s at the club and then at the top is cool 10a up to some classic 12s. There is something for everyone who’s had an introduction to sport climbing outside previously, so come out and try some cool stuff. Since the drive is substantial (3 hrs each way) I want to maximize climb time by leaving early as frick (if that’s not for you but you still really wanna come, come talk to me, but I’m really trying to get the most out of the day). We’ll hopefully be able to do like two big sessions broken up by lunchtime to let us recover.

an itinerary:
leave around 5am ish
Get to NRG around 8am
Begin climbing by 9am
Lunch time at noon
Climb more in the afternoon
Head home no later than dark (7pm at the latest)
Maybe stop for dinner otw back, back by 10pm is the goal

You should bring:
Harness
Helmet
Climbing shoes
Chalk
Any other personal climbing gear you like to use (ex. belay devices)
Clothes for the weather
Shoes for hiking there
food
water

I will bring:
Ropes x2
Quickdraws (a lot of em)
Stuff to clean with
