Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Moorman's Boulders
Do you like WALNUTS and CREEKS? Let’s go somewhere with NEITHER!
The more relevant question is do you like to rock climb or have you ever wanted to learn to rock climb? If your answer is “yes”, then this is a great chance to get some climbing in. To be explicit, this trip is open to beginning climbers and experienced climbers alike.
Bouldering is simply climbing on boulders: as long as the boulders are not so tall, then you don’t need a rope, and instead we can put crash pads on the ground to cushion any fall. Moormans boulders is certainly not be a large crag, but it offers a great variety of climbs for its size and its proximity to grounds.
Let’s meet at 10am, and head into the gear room to try on climbing shoes / check them out. I’ve set the limit at 8, expecting at least one more driver to sign up. That could change based on how many drivers + other experienced boulders sign up.
The default plan will be to come back to Charlottesville a bit before rides go out to Walnut Creek.
