More Info:
I have booked the 5-Hour Single Pitch Trip and included the details below. The cost decreases with the more people that join, so feel free to bring a guest! The maximum cost per person is $182.50, but it could get down to just $105.83 per person if we have 6 people. I will leave RSVPs open for a week and then close so I can get the guide company a final head count. Please feel free to message me with any questions at all! I have never climbed outside, so if you are a newbie, you won't be the only one!
#### 5-Hour Trip (approx. 4 hours climbing)
Perfect amount of time for beginners to get acquainted with the rock at a comfortable pace or for smaller groups of intermediate climbers.
#### Great for beginners or mixed groups of all abilities! Single pitch climbing refers to the height of climbs being no more than ~70ft from the ground. The number of climbs depends on the group size and time allotted.
Price includes all climbing gear, including climbing shoes, helmet, and harness. Please bring your own closed-toed hiking shoes, clothing, food, and water.
## The details
### What to bring
Food
- Appropriate calories for the time spent outside, plus a little more.
- Consider how you will deal with the trash at the cliff (I often have a ziplock dedicated to wrappers)
Water
- 1 liter per 4 hours per person minimum, consider double in the summer
Clothing
- Closed-toed hiking shoes *REQUIRED*
- Season and weather-appropriate layers of clothing
- Highly recommend a rain jacket always
- Consider hoods/hats that can fit under/over a helmet
- Cotton base layer can be ok in warm temps, but avoid cotton for all other layers and all other temps
Climbing
- I encourage you to bring your own helmet, harness, shoes, and belay device of choice
- I recommend your loose-fitting shoes since we could be in them for up to 4 hours at a time
- Anything you need to borrow, we will provide
