New River Gorge Climbing

OVERVIEW

*Drivers Needed – you will be reimbursed for gas + %50 tip up to $20**

With Moab leaving in the next couple days the FOMO is really starting to get to me. Rather than sit on my couch sulking, i’d rather embrace the weekend warrior lifestyle and hit up the new for some rad climbing.

The new is a little over 3 hours away so we’ll arrive after dark on Friday night. We’re staying at the american alpine club and camping fees are covered by the club. It may be super cold so come as prepared as you can. Unfortunately, moab attendees get priority for spring break gear so it may be hard to find everything you need. If you’re having trouble, shoot me an email because I have extras of a lot of things.

Things you bring:
Sleeping bag
Shelter (tent/hammock with tarp)
Sleeping pad
Food (1 dinner, 2 lunches, 1 breakfast, snacks) – the rest will go to biscuit world/stop on the way there
Climbing shoes (I can try to help you get these)
Clothing
harness if you own one (The gear room will be out of these. I’m bring a few that we can trade between people)

I bring:
Climbing rope
quick draws
static rope
first aid kit
harnesses (to share)

My usual disclaimer – Climbing is a dangerous sport. By signing up for this trip you are taking responsibility for all risk associated with this activity. I reserve the right to “ground” any climber who I believe is behaving unsafely. If you have questions about safe climbing please reach other to the officers or myself.

Happy Trails!
