icegirl Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Being that this week was a boisterous success, we are already planning ahead for next week. Remember, this is for all you newbie girls, basic skills are all that will be needed (how to get into your harness, shoes, tie in, belay) We will be doing all the rope set up (leading, anchors, etc) and take down. You will not be judged on your knowledge or ability. We are not going to require you to pass any tests. Consider it like a Stone Gardens climbing party. Unless you want to do more (or have the skillset to do more) all you are gonna do is climb climb climb... Although we are not going to the "coolest" places in washington, we are attempting to go to places that have a good number of climbs in the 5.6-5.9 range, so that everyone can get in more than one or two climbs. Bring: climbing shoes, harness, chalkbag, water munchies, helmet would be nice, Good shoes to do the short hike up in (sandles don't quite cut it). Flips flops if you want something cooler and easier on/off while climbing Mosq repellent Some warmer clothes, as the sun goes down rather quick when it goes down there.

SnowByrd Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up for me...I was getting worried! I didn't want somebody showing up at my house demanding my ice screws, especially when I don't have any! Quote
