Itinerary:
Sport climbing in the Ghost area - most likely STD wall. Area covers a wide range of grades from 5.8 to 5.10c with many in the 5.10a/b range. Will give preference to participants who lead sport routes, but we will put up top ropes as well. The Ghost requires access by 4X4 or high ground clearance vehicle. I will have room for two extra people in my SUV, but any extras will need a proper vehicle. There is a shallow river crossing on foot to STD, so you will need spare shoes or sandals.
Required Items to Bring:
helmet, harness, rock shoes, belay device. If you have a rope and draws, it's best to bring them, especially if you are planning on leading. A sling with a couple lockers and a couple extra biners would be helpful too.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Guidebook, food, water, sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, wind breaker, shoes for river crossing
