Where: Ragged
Mountain
Details: This
day trip will offer a look into outdoor rock climbing and will cover all the
topics discussed in the merit
badge requirements. i.e.- knots, safety, related first
aid. All gear will be provided
with the exception of those items specifically listed
on this sheet. This trip will be
geared towards those who have never been
climbing before.
Logistics( carpooling etc.) will
be worked out once the number of boys in the
crew is finalized. So far the
plan is to meet at the Lake Q. Pavilion at
return in time for the Blue and
Gold.
* The crew will be capped at 15 boys due to safety
concerns and site management
requirements.
** If you plan to
go without a parent present you must have a consent
form
signed. If you have any concerns please contact me.
What: This
will be a day trip. Please bring a lunch and enough water (
at least 2 liters) to
last you the day. It can get
windy so a jacket or hat is never a bad idea. There is a
short hike into the site and you
may want to wear hiking boots. If you decide to
wear boots bring a pair of
sneakers to climb in. In addition to sneakers Please
bring a helmet!!!
