Best Beginner Bouldering Basics Bash at (B)slaughter

OVERVIEW

Are YOU fan of grabbing rocks? Do YOU also like climbing up things using said rocks?? Oh my stars lucky you!!! Sarah and I are leading another intro to bouldering class tomorrow at 5:30pm.

We understand that bouldering/climbing in general can be a daunting sport to start, so we are here to “de-daunt” that process! However, if you are just an especially stoked individual, that rOcKS too! The trip will be catered to whatever each person feels comfortable:) We do have an instructor agenda, but you all will be the dictators of how it flows.

Our end goal is to eventually take this outside to grab sum real rocks! Learning how to boulder at slaughter is one of the safest, cheapest, and informative ways on learning the basics of what cool ronk climbers do.

Even if you have been on this trip before, still sign up! Getting a hold of bouldering basics takes time and a whole lot of instruction sometimes! However, those who have never been on the trip will have priority off of the waitlist, as well as those who have been on lots of waitlists but haven’t had much luck.

See ya tomorrow!

PS: Shout out to Sarah for her impeccable photoshop skills in the above edit. Y’all wish you could be that cool and tech savvy

Plan:

-Meet inside Slaughter Climbing Center (turn right after entering Slaughter)
-Get ya free shoes and chalk
-Embody Curious George for 1.5 hours (but if you are feeling especially monkey-like we can go longer!)

**IMPORTANT**— before joining us pretty PLEASEEEE make sure you’ve filled out this climbing waiver if you have never climbed at slaughter before (you basically just watch the orientation video & then say you watched it by “checking out”):
