Intro to Climbing at Rockytop: Friday Night Special

OVERVIEW

Are you 27,000th on the waitlist for Lindsay’s adventure? Do you just like to spend your Friday evenings learning new things? Do you want to spend more time with Emily Wetzel or Max McHale (aka the dream team.)? Or have you just been meaning to get into the rad climber crowd?

Now’s the time.

Meet at Echols at 6:30. From there we’ll go into the gear room and pick out harnesses and climbing shoes (all nitty gritty details of how to do so will be explained) then we’ll caravan on down to Rocky Top (~10 min drive), the local climbing gym, where we’ll teach and practice the basics to being a safe climber and belayer. If we have time we’ll cover some basic climbing technique. Then you’ll get a chance to jump on the wall and show off your new skills!

Once you’ve attended this adventure you will be able to go on awesome Peak trips! And trust me, THAT is how you want to spend your Thursday evening.
