Join us for an easy/moderate climb on kid goat.
The route will depend on the skills of the selected participants.
3 or 4 pitches between 5.6 and 5.10.
If we finish early and depending on the weather and efficiency of the team we might decide to climb another short one or just enjoy some single pitch routes.
The approach is about 30/45 minutes then the climb can vary depending on the team.
The climb itself will be easy/moderate. If you climb regularly in a gym and comfortable on 5.9/5.10 you will have no problem climbing any of these multi pitches.
