NRGE Campsite

This trip leaves from Rays Campground at 9:30am Sunday the 14th in west Virginia!!! We will return to cville after climbing. *Drivers are needed*

Climbing shoes
Chalk bag
Harness
Helmet
Headlight
A shelter (tent/hammock)
sleeping bag and mat
food
water (We can refill at the campsite)
sturdy shoes such as chacos
optional:
towel (campsite has a shower)
camera
sunscreen/bug spray
clothing
I bring:
Quick draws/alpine draws
First aid kit
ATCs and GriGris
Dynamic/Static Ropes
Trad Rack (maybe)
crash pads
Climbing is a serious and potentially dangerous sport. I reserve the right to verbally warn or “ground” you for behavior I think is unsafe. I’ll go over this before we get to the crag but examples include:
Using improper belay technique
“Free Soloing” or climbing without a rope or crash pad
Not wearing a helmet in the drop zone
Once I let you off the waitlist for this trip sign up for the NRGE carpool! This is where you will coordinate your ride to the new river gorge. Text or email me if you have questions.
Let’s get out there and send it!
