SOA Outdoor Climbing (Index)

** Event is subject to cooperative weather (not too cold or rainy). **

Note that index has more Trad climbing than otherer crags in the area. We have trad leaders but ropes may go up slower than usual.

Please answer the question to indicate your experience level so I know what I'm working with. If I have not climbed with you before (or if I don't remember it, sorry) I or someone I designate will be observing your first belay to ensure safe habits. This is mandatory for all climbers.

We will meet at the park and ride at 7:30 am and head out to hopefully beat the crowds. We will climb until we are tired; people can leave whenever their car is finished.

You will need:

• Harness
• Climbing Shoes
• Helmet (mandatory for climbers AND belayers. If you don't have a helmet, you may be able to borrow one, but anytime you are close to the wall you should be wearing a helmet)
• 10 essentials
• Water, snacks, and lunches.

I will have my own rope and material, but we will need additional ropes and anchor material. Let me know if you can bring:

• Rope (ideally 60m single and dry treated)
• Quickdraws for Sport and/or Protection for Trad
• Anchor material for setting top ropes
