Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Peak Experiences Climbing Gym
Weekly trip to Peak Experiences Climbing Gym, departing Echols at 5:30PM, and returning from Peak at 10:00PM – arrival will be no later than 11:30PM.
Any experience levels are welcome – Peak provides climbing opportunities for indoor sport, TR and bouldering.
If you intend to top rope with a partner, a belay certification is required for which reservations are recommended. Absent belaying knowledge, Peak offers their “Learn The Ropes Belay Class” for $30 at 6:30PM, or you can take lessons from a fellow attendee on the trip to Peak (basically, Lucie). Call 804.697.6800 for reservations.
The trip will be limited by drivers, and to some degree, by the number of climbers that are belay certified in order to ensure an efficient climbing rotation.
Any necessary gear (harness, hammock, belay device, stick clip, helmet, and boombox) can be provided in advance by the club’s gear room.
