The purpose of the virtual outing will be to give an overview of the nature of the climbing areas, their location, and their general approaches. While this information can be garnered from books or from friends, it is hard for a first-timer to gain that sense of where things are and what to look for. Hopefully this virtual outing will provide that preview so that you can maximize your climbing opportunities when you do visit.
