CLIME TIME W PATTY

OVERVIEW

HI EVERYONE!!

I want to go climb this saturday morning, provided that weather is good in the wonderful Upper Tract, WEST VIRGINIA. I plan to climb in the range of 5.8 to 5.10 so it would be good to have at least one other person who can get up something of that difficulty, but for everyone else your difficulty abilities don’t matter, just that you know how to lead safely. I want to get an early start and hopefully leave fairly early so the rest of the day we can do something else with our time, but please let me know in your answers if a different schedule would work better for you. Bring water and food for lunch or money to get something, as we will probably be stopping on the way there and back.

We need a driver so priority off the waitlist if you can do that for us. (you will get reimbursed plus 50% tip, up to $20)
Also priority to first person to sign up who can climb 5.10ish outside, but don’t lie about that bc I’ll make you do it if you say you can (ehehehehe)
Also reach out to me if interested in co-leading, I could use another more responsible person (757-816-7193)
******Note to officers: I’m resubmitting this for Saturday instead of Friday originally, and added Abhi as a co leader, also we may go to Reed’s instead of smokehole depending on what people want to do******

The likely itinerary:
6am – Leave from echols dorm
8:30-9am – Arrive at smokehole canyon
9am-12pm – Climb stuff (warm up ish things, maybe some harder stuff)
12pm-1pm – Break for lunch
1pm-3pm – Send some harder stuff, if we are up for it, which we will be!!
3pm – drive back
5pm – drop you off at your place

You should bring:
Harness
Helmet
Chalk bag
Climbing shoes
Food + Water
Mental Fortitude

I will bring:
Ropes x2
Draws
Belay devices
Mtn proj on my phone
