REEDS CREEK Beginner/ Intermediate Climbing (Saturday)

OVERVIEW

This is a beginner-focused climbing trip. We are going to Reeds Creek which is one of our super frequent, super awesome climbing spots. The drive is around 2 hours, the crag is located in West Virginia. It’s a sunny crag so it should be nice. There are lots of high-rated moderates in the 5.7-5.9 range. This is open to anyone who wants to come, but especially beginners. Via and I will be setting up top roping climbs unless someone wants to lead climb. We will not be teaching lead climbing, only top roping basics. WE WILL GET YOU GEAR, because the trip is in 2 days you might not have time to get gear. LET US KNOW in the questions what you need! Bring water and snacks for the trip. There will be some hot drinks for morale. We will come back in the evening and end our climbing around 3:30 ish.
