Howdy folks!
The sun is shining and filling my mind, body and soul with its joyful energy. If you’re like me, and this kind of beautiful weather has you chomping at the bit to spend a little time pulling hard on rocks in nature, or, you just wanna get outside and try something new, come join me as I explore the bouldering opportunities over at Ragged. I’ve never climbed there before, but if we have any success finding the boulders, there should be some climbs for people of all skill levels to try.
Of course, since we can’t carpool, we will be biking over to Ragged, but the club can provide bikes for any attendees that need them! It’s a sort of hilly 30-minute ride, but we can take plenty of breaks if needed.
The skinny:
10 am ~ Meet at the Shred Shack, get bikes for those who need them and depart for Ragged
10:30 am ~ arrive at Ragged, grab crash pads I’ll stash there, hike to boulders
11:15 am ~ arrive at boulders, climb, swim, and bask in the sun
1:30 pm ~ hike back to trailhead and bike home
We should get back to the Shred Shack no later than 3 pm.
What to Bring:
– sturdy shoes to bike and hike in
– 1-2 L of water
– snacko for your moutho
– bike and helmet if you have either
– Climbing shoes and climbing chalk if you have it
– musical instruments portable by bike
– ***MASK PLEASE***
What I’ll Bring:
– Crash pads
– Since it’s so short notice I can grab climbing shoes from the gear room for those who need them
– my mask 😉
