But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? (Beginner Climbing at Great Falls)

OVERVIEW

Come climb outside at this beautiful waterside climbing area. We will be heading to Juliet’s Balcony at Great Falls.

This is a BEGINNER climbing trip, so come as you are – no experience required. We will be climbing routes that are easy to moderate in difficulty (5.4 – 5.9). If you would like to learn how to top rope belay, we can do that. We will be at the crag climbing for about 5-6 hours.

I’m reserving 2 spots for people very (or completely) new to climbing and 1 spot for someone who already knows how to top rope belay.

Since this trip is on a holiday weekend, let me know in the trip questionnaire if you’re able to leave from NoVa (closer drive) or if you’d rather leave from Charlottesville or somewhere else.

Gear to Bring:
– climbing harness
– belay device + locking carabiner
– climbing shoes
– chalk (optional)
– helmet (optional, but encouraged)
– clothes appropriate for the weather
– water
– snack

I’ll bring climbing ropes and anchor-building materials for group use.
