EVENT HOSTS WANTED
We need more climbers to lead meetups! Must be safe and like people. The idea is you pick a day/time and a crag or gym and then invite people to meet you climb with you. You're not guiding anyone. Attendees must be self-sufficient and be responsible for their own safety. Note: hosting a climbing meetup does not involve people visiting your home. Usually for outdoor meetups they meet you at the parking area and you hike in together. Can restrict attendance based on things like gear, experience, skills (e.g. must be able to lead 5.9, must have a rope, must bring a bouldering pad, ect), and women-only meetups are great! Message me to learn more!
