Welcome All!

I started this group so that I may enjoy indoor rock climbing and nature hiking with others, at least weekly, in the metropolitan area. Most events will be climbing related. I'm a moderate hiker and semi-newbie climber. Of course, more practice is all anyone needs. This diverse brand new group will have frequent meetups. I'm also hoping to get sponsors (small ad or free t-shirts, etc.) and just make the group well-rounded at a low cost. Therefore...

Welcome all, young and old adults, newbie and experienced.. for climbing, hiking, yoga, meditation, adventures, and occasional trips. Always bring your sense of humor, personality, can do attitude, knowledge, etc. Connect with your climbing buddies and get a good workout too. There can be carpooling so that no one is left out. You are encouraged to have a face pic on your profile within a week of joining. Please participate in our polls.

Will schedule indoor climbing at least weekly. Outdoor rock climbing is probably better in the spring after a class. We can do hiking once or twice a week. These hikes are likely to be of the moderate levels (under 10 miles), while the weather is dry. We may have beginner yoga after each short hike at participating facilities with routines suitable for our group.

Assistant Leaders/Coordinators: If you would like to volunteer to design a hike and/or lead hikes 2 or more times per month, please contact me.

Suggestions: I'm open to all suggestions on hiking, indoor climbing, yoga, meditation, and classes. Please contact me.

UPDATES: You should check for updates before any event. Also check the "About" and "Files" sections of the site. If you have questions or concerns, please email me.

Absolutely, no solicitation emails or otherwise, etc. (Let me know about any type of spam, junk mail, or solicitation.) No exceptions.
