This trip is specifically for people who are
looking to push their redpoint grade sport
climbing. Top-roping is not allowed,
unless you
need to do it to safely work the moves on your
project... although in that case, you should
probably be picking a different project.
Also, unlike most ACC events, you will be taking
many lead falls. As such, you must:
- Be able to provide a safe catch to a lead
climber
- Take lead falls safely (don't get the rope
behind your leg!)
- Bring your own rope. You will trust it more.
club ropes will not be available.
In this series, you will pick a climb that is a
full number grade above your current onsight
level. You will give that climb 2 to 4 tries each
time we go and climb almost nothing else (except
a warm-up or two.)
During the first few attempts, you will be hang-
dogging and learning the moves on your project.
This will likely take one or two evenings. After
you know the moves, you should lower to the
ground after a fall and rest before trying again
ground-up.
If you cannot figure out the moves in the first
few sessions, pick an easier climb. If you get
your project early, start a new one.
There will be 8 midweek evening sessions and 3
Sundays Location TBD. You are
welcome to work your projects outside these
events as well.
The first half of the events will be at Grassi
Lakes, and the next half at Prairie Creek.
