Improvised anchors and advanced rappelling

This meetup is intended mainly for climb leaders or those with alpine climbs under their belts.

Join the waitlist to be considered for this event.

The focus will NOT be on climbing but rather an advanced traversing/rappelling event and on tools to use during "bail out" situations.

Attendees will have to meet Sunday morning at 6 am in Bellevue to carpool to the "Feathers" area in French man Coulee as we will be driving from Spokane and camping overnight Saturday with plans to train early Sunday. Everyone is welcome to come hang out and camp in the desert with us Saturday night .

If we have time, I'd like to go over :
