Do you really want to stay in Canada in October?
It is too cold to climb rock, too warm to climb
ice, too wet to scramble and too dry to ski. The
only thing to do is whine, and who wants to do
that?
Or, you could head out on an adventure, drink some
cheap beer, climb some classic rock and generally
enjoy the desert during its most pleasant time of
year.
Target climbing is ~5.10`s trad or sport (plus or
minus, likely minus), mostly cragging, some multi-
pitch. People who lead will have the most fun.
There will be a night or two of associated crack
training at U of C.
Plan is to leave the evening of October 10 for
somewhere in the the book "Rock and Road" that
satisfies the follow conditions:
1) Best available weather
2) Classic rock
3) Cheap beer and camping
A destination will be decided last minute with
group input, and could change mid-trip. Historic
destinations have been J-tree, Yosemite, Indian
Creek, Smith Rocks and City of Rocks.
Required Items to Bring:
Only mandatory item is your passport, but you won't
have much fun without your climbing and camping
gear.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Sandles? Slack line? Boom box?
How to Get There:
Event Directions:
