What to Expect
Once assembled on the first morning, we will make introductions, hand out equipment and proceed as a class to the climbing area. This usually consists of a 30-45 minute hike up fairly steep terrain, so bring shoes that offer ample support. Once we leave the parking lot, we do not return for the rest of the day. Please come prepared to spend a full day outside.
Your instructor will familiarize the group to their new surroundings and explain the hazards and guidelines for the day’s activities. The instructor will then lay out the class itinerary for your particular course.
There is no set time for the end of the climbing day; this will be determined by the group’s energy level. At that time, the group will head back to the parking lot to sort out equipment. Participants are responsible for themselves once the climbing day has ended.
You cannot stay on the summit forever, you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place?
Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not knowwhat is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up.
