Anti-Homecoming Climbing Adventure of a Lifetime

OVERVIEW

What’s better than watching the UVA football team lose another game? Touching rocks.

Heard through the grapevine that Saturday was going to be a beautiful day, so let’s take advantage of that and do some bomber beginner top-roping. We’re heading out bright and early Saturday morning and driving about an hour to Manchester Wall in Richmond, which consists of some old train track ruins that have been overtaken by climbers. We’ll hang out and get everyone to climb AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE (GAINS SZN). Joseph and I will be talking through top roping and belaying basics (and maybe lead climbing basics too if we’re feeling spicy), so this will be a fantastic trip for the absolute beginner. Then we’ll pack up and head home, aiming to be back by 4:30 or 5!

What you need to bring:
– Helmet
– Harness
– Climbing shoes
– Chalk if you want it
– Lunch/ snacks
– Water (approx. 45 standard shots)
– Song requests

What we will bring:
– Ropes
– Belay devices
– Vibes
– A fountain of knowledge and experience

You will be responsible for bringing your own gear/checking it out from the gear room, but if you can’t make it to the gear room we can snatch it for you.
Also, if you want to be a driver for the trip, you will get priority off the waitlist!

I think that’s all you need to know– text me with questions + concerns (404-906-1260)!
See you on the rocks,
Keith
