Howdy y’all,

Well folks, it’s my 101st trip with the club, so it’s about time to lead another climbing basics trip. If you’ve only ever climbed in a gym, or haven’t ever touched a rock with the intent of going up, you’re welcome to come. I do need one person who can lead climb/belay, but otherwise this trip is open to anyone wanting to learn (maybe lead climbing basics too if some people are ready to learn). Man wall isn’t the most normal type of rock, but it’s a nice learning ground. It consists of old stone railroad support towers and a big retaining wall with a unique style of climbing.

Here’s the mountain proj which details the climbs, and has some pics if you’re curious
