Re: Climbers looking to learn March 9-15

Also, Are there any other "beginners" out there who are looking to take a class next week? Rates are much cheaper in group. Let me know!

Re: Climbers looking to learn March 9-15

Just got off the phone with Fox Mountain. They were extremely friendly and informative. So looks like I'll be taking that class next Saturday along with one earlier in the week. Thank you for the encouraging responses by some of you. I couldn't be more excited to have my first Red experience. Hope t...

Re: Climbers looking to learn March 9-15

Appreciate the honor responses guys, seriously. So my question is, if "No amount of gym training, reading, or courses can prepare you for the real thing." how do you get prepared? I've been waiting for this trip for a long time now and I plan on seeing it through in the safest way possible...

Re: Climbers looking to learn March 9-15

Maybe I didn't explain myself enough? I am certified to belay and have taken a number of rock climbing classes. Obviously I'm smart enough not to "wing it" in the looked down upon label you are giving it. I was implying spontaneity not stupidity. Yes, I am new to outdoor climbing and have ...

Re: Climbers looking to learn March 9-15

We are somewhat winging it, but we obviously know our boundaries. Was really just looking for some more experienced peeps to hangout with and learn a few things.
