Howdy y’all,
Have you been wanting to try multi-pitch or following trad??? Well, do I have the trip for you. This won’t be a hardcore climbing trip, but a chill day to get some practice in. There are two bolted anchors pretty close together, and I figure we can fashion a very short two pitches out of it to get some first-hand experience. While this is a chill trip, a decent amount of lead/technical experience is required in regard to belaying, trad gear, and rappeling. Since I will need someone to belay me as I climb and to clean the gear as you follow. So not placing gear, but enough familiarity to be able to remove gear from the wall. If we have time we can also do anchor-building practice at the base of the crag and on belaying from above.
