Outing Description: This outing will be a social gathering of Cascades Mountaineers & friends who enjoy climbing with each other and sharing encouragement, beta, and a fun day of climbing. This will also be a great opportunity for those who have always wanted to try rock climbing, but didn't know where to start. Toproped climbs up to at least 5.10b will be put up for those who do not wish to lead.
Equipment & Clothing Needs: Normal overnight outing clothing, tent, sleeping bag, food, liquids, etc. Rock shoes and a harness are the only required equipment. Shoes can be rented at Redpoint (not sure about harnesses). Other desired equipment includes: a locking carabineer, belay device, helmet, rope, draws and runners/anchors (if you have them). Decisions on how many ropes, and what gear we will take, will be made at the Park 'n Ride.
