TRAD LOVE GAP

OVERVIEW

HEY so the weather is finally good enough to climb in VA. This will be a little introduction to trad climbing, we will go to Love Gap and I will teach you about the gear, people can follow my trad placements, (you will be on top rope taking OUT trad pieces, this is really good practice to see what good placements look like), or mock trad lead depending on prior experience. This is a BEGINNER trad trip but trad is inherently more difficult than sport climbing, so you should be comfy with leading and belaying on sport to sign up for this trip (intermediate or advanced in climbing in general).
