Craggin classics (nrg two day climbing)

OVERVIEW

Hey, y’all! Join me for the Craggin Classic at the New River Gorge aka a climbing party weekend more or less.

Every year the AAC puts on its Craggin Classic weekend at various campgrounds around the country. This year, the Craggin Classic is September 22nd-24th. Events start Friday morning and go through Sunday morning. Breakfast + Dinner + Drinks (if you’re over 21) are provided in the registration fee. The barebones cost for the weekend is $70, and we will camp at Ray’s campground. I’ll handle the camping fees but each person will need to individually register once they are off the waitlist. The goal on Friday is to leave grounds by 2pm to make it to the AAC in time for 6 pm dinner (tacos). After that there’s a bring-your-own-dessert content for those interested and then music and a movie at 10 pm. There are clinics all day Saturday that you can register yourself for, but they come at an extra fee. There’s also a bouldering competition, which also comes at an extra fee. My plan was to just go to a clinic on Saturday but surly everyone can find someone to climb with! Saturday night is dinner and more entertainment, I plan to come back Saturday night and drive through the dark lol.
