Climb Stuff at Interstate Park (Exit 38)

Details

The overall plan: To climb all over Interstate Park which has several areas all right next to each other.

Headlight Point: 2x5.6, 3x5.7, 2x5.8
Eastern Block: 2x5.7, 5x5.8, 5.9, 10a, 10b, 10d, 11a
Squishy Bell, 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, 5.9

Also, across the Talus Field is a newish area called Shangri-La (https://www.mountainproject.com/v/shangri-la/109399695) that is 10's 11's and 12's

Top rope or lead. Beginners, intermediate, advanced, all are welcome whether you've been outdoors before or not.

Getting there
https://goo.gl/maps/6jeZV84odELotbNQ9

You need a Discover Pass to park here or you can park along under the overpass for free.

We'll meet in the parking lot and then head up at 8am. We're going early to ensure we can get parking spots and also ensure the choice of the best routes.

After crossing the bridge, immediately hit the trail heading right and follow it. Everything is now signposted so you'll have no problem finding us.

Communications

I'll email all the rsvp-ers nearer the date and we can trade numbers to ensure late arrivals or lostee's (it happens) can locate us or catch up or get directions (if I don't reply immediately give it a little while, I might be climbing, belaying someone, or out of breath from hiking).

At the crags look for the 'Union Jack' painted climbing helmet or ask any groups if they are with the MeetUp.

Stuff to Bring

Essentials: Harness, shoes, water, sunblock, lunch. Helmets are recommended.
Would be handy if you have them: Rope, quickdrawers, ATC/grigri, personal anchor, chalk, anchors, slings, and such.

Interstate is a dog friendly location.
