Hello,

We will be going to Hidden Valley in southwest VA. Although there are climbs for many skill levels, make sure you know how to belay and have experience top rope climbing. Here is a link to the mountain project: https://www.mountainproject.com/area/113166652/hidden-valley The guide book has many additional climbs; there are many sport routes 5.9 and down to a 5.6
The campsite does not provide water and has only a porta potty so be prepared.

Bring:

Trip plan:

Stop at my house and pick up the guide book I said I would bring but actually dont have yet.
Pull on some rock from 11 until dark
Campfire and bonding at hidden valley campsite
Be back no later than 4PM on sunday
The drive is ~4 hrs

I reserve the right to “ground” anyone who I think is behaving in an unsafe manner. For example, not wearing a helmet, free soloing, or rough housing is unacceptable. If you have any questions or concerns about safety or climbing technique please ask me.

Okay, that is all. see you saturday.
