Experience We will be bouldering, so all participants should be comfortable falling onto bouldering pads. We may need to scramble/downclimb to acess the boulders, so you should be comfortable scrambling and downclimbing on fourth class terrain. Gear All participants must have their own climbing shoes, and are encouraged to bring their own bouldering pads. Waiver All participants are required to fill out a 2023 waiver (if you climbed with us last season, you'll need to complete a new waiver). Complete your waiver prior to the event using the link below and please keep in mind: no waiver, no climbing. https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/e/V6x6Sx4fxUjNzc7M3pWqJR/ Questions: Contact us at [email protected] Your safety is our number one priority but just keep in mind, climbing is a dangerous sport and serious injury may occur.
