Potluck BBQ & Outdoor Rock climbing at Great Falls - Last FREE fee event of the year

It is that time of the year where the smell of burning charcoal fill the air plus whatever we put on the grill make our mouths salivate.

There is NO cellphone signal at our designated climbing area so we won't get your texts or calls...Meaning: Be there on time.

Hi all, a few of you had ask me to do this event again, I was explaining to some people on the group that when I post a climbing event on Great Falls is normally a Climb-BBK combo event, climb until 2pm and go prepare a BBK still meal on the bench at the entrance of the park, that area has BBK grill free to use, we have to bring charcoal, any kind of meat we want to grill and all the necessary extras require for a BBK, so this will be done this coming Sunday 31, a week from today. Event is going to be "close" to outsiders and "open" to the ones that show up on my last Intro to Climbing, are you interested?

IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE YOU RSVP, this is NOT a teaching event any more, I sure will give you a refreshment talk, you must have previous rock climbing experience.
All equipment-gear will be provided

BBQ potluck type of fest:
Bring your mother's secret recipe to share.
We will need a lot of refreshments like

  • water, sodas (NO ALCOHOL PERMITTED!)
  • All kinds of meat to grill - Beef Pork Chicken
  • Vegetables and fruit
  • Desserts
  • Salads
  • Plates, napkins, forks, trash bags, etc. (PAPER ONLY -NOT PLASTIC)
  • Grilling essential (charcoal, lighter, tools, etc.)
  • Ice cooler - Ice

Please note what you'll be bring in the comments section below so others do not bring the same.
All picnic tables and grills in the park are available on a first come, first serve basis. I will be there early to claim our spot. It will be the first one closest to the main pat access which is also the closest one to the trail to our climbing areas.
Great Falls has a $20 x car, you can pay at the Ranger Station in cash - credit card or use a National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Card
We will climb from 9am to 2pm, after 2pm I will star removing the top rope set-up and some of you can start setting the food/grilling...everybody cooperation is require one or other way
