Southwest Climbers and Boulderers, affectionately known as "SCAB's"...

 Welcome Climbers and Boulderers!

 I decided to add this meet-up group as a way for others to join and grow with the climbing community. I'm extremely passionate about climbing and enjoy sharing these experiences with others.

I've been fortunate enough to meet some incredible people and friends within the climbing community. I'd like this to be a group where everyone feels at home and with friends. Please leave any ego's at the door! Regardless of skill level and experience, we can all develop new skills.

I'm hoping for this to be a very active group. I would appreciate any suggestions to make this group one of the best out there.

Involvement in rock climbing carries a significant risk of personal injury or death. CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK!

If you climb, you may die or be seriously injured. This is true whether you are experienced or not, trained or not, equipped or not, though training and equipment may help. It's a fact, climbing is extremely dangerous. If you don't like it, stay at home. You really shouldn't be doing it anyway. We do not provide supervision or instruction. We are not responsible for, and do not inspect or maintain, climbing anchors (including bolts, pitons, slings, trees, etc.) As far as we know, any of them can and will fail and send you plunging to your death. There are countless tons of loose rock ready to be dislodged and fall on you or someone else. There are any number of extremely and unusually dangerous conditions existing on and around the rocks. We may or may not know about any specific hazard. You're on your own.

Rocks and other objects can fall from the cliffs. They can tumble down slopes. This can happen naturally, or be caused by people above you, such as climbers. Rocks of all sizes, including huge boulders, can shift, move or fall without warning. Use of helmets is advised for anyone approaching the rock. They won't save you if you get hit by something big or on another part of your body. A whole rock formation might collapse on you and squash you like a bug. Don't think it can't happen!
