Fall Rock Climbing Class

The Beginning Rock Climbing class got out for their second day this past Friday. It was a nice sunny day out on the Limestone, can't ask for much more. We set up two 5.8 routes. One was a class limestone route, pretty steep and filled with pockets, the other was a bit of an addity for limestone, it climbed through a crack in a roof, and continued up the crack most of the way to the top.

The second route also made accessible a 5.11 route for anyone that was willing to give it a try. It climbed a hard line through the same roof with an awkward move that put your hands behind your head and then into a horizontal lieback. But once over that, it was nice cruising up 5.8 to the top.

It was a great day for everyone, and good job to all! You can see some more photos on the outdoor website.
