Ridge has a Christmas special going. Admit one family member or climbing partner, second admission half off.

Don't give up. Tag along with Ynot sometime and he should be able to get you on some good offwidths. He may drag you out to the middle of nowhere and get lost in the process but you'll have fun. :D

yep, seems like just yesterday, but must have been 3+ years ago, SCIN took me out for my OW 101 class. Posted some good tips from the day, but must be lost on climbky.com somewhere. Pretty much, just get ready to suffer a bit, and take the time to learn what works, rather then just trying to get up the route any way you can. OW rewards the patiant climber...
