Rivanna Wall
dirt babies,
Carve out a little time this fine Friday afternoon to prioritize mental health, fresh air and becoming the world’s next Alex Honnold at Cville’s best kept secret – Rivanna Wall. Rivanna Wall is a teeny tiny outdoor sport climbing crag with just two routes. The crag is also along a stretch of the Rivanna River, so we can take swim breaks between climbs! Yoowoo!
We’ll meet at shred shack around 3:00 pm, bop over to Rivanna Wall (~10 minute drive and short walk) and climb, swim and chill until dark. We should get back to UVA no later than 8:00 pm.
You don’t need any climbing experience to sign up for this trip, however, we will give people with climbing experience priority off the waitlist because the two routes aren’t exactly beginner friendly (they’re both ~5.8-5.9).
What to bring:
– Clothes you’ll be comfortable climbing in (and swimming in)
– Climbing harness (can check out from gear room)
– Climbing shoes (can check out from gear room)
– Climbing helmet (can check out from gear room)
– Climbing chalk (not required)
– snacky snack and watery water
We’ll bring everything else we need to climb!
DRIVERS NEEDED! There will be no gas reimbursement, but it’s a really short drive.
