FreeJoin PATC-MS on Saturday, April 8th for a day of climbing at Buzzard Rocks near Front Royal, VA. This is a members only trip. Any guests you add to your RSVP must be members of PATC-MS.

Please make travel plans prior to the trip. This is not an instructional clinic/event.
The trip is limited to PATC-MS members and is capped at 10 climbers. There is a two mile hike to the climbs so dress appropriately and bring plenty of food and water for the day.
Climbers should also bring their own personal gear (harness, helmet, shoes, chalk bag, and belay device), 8-10 quick draws, a 60-70m rope, and a trad rack if they are interested in routes that require placing gear.
We will meet at 9am in the Buzzard Rock Parking Area on Mountain Road (Route 619). Please arrive on time. Crowds form quickly and we want to claim our spot as early as possible. Also, parking is limited so carpooling is recommended. You can sign up to find a partner or carpool here.

Please note that this is not a guided event and none of our trip leaders are professional guides. You will be climbing on ropes set up by members of the club who are hobby climbers and not professionals. Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport and you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for yourself and your own safety at all times.
