This is the rescheduled May 17 trip.
It is a toproping trip to Great Falls, most likely to the Aid Box area. Trip is limited to ten people and you need to be able to belay to participate.
Meet at 8am in the climbers’ parking lot just past the entrance booth. Closer to the trip date, car pooling will be suggested as there is limited parking and car pooling also permits sharing any National Park passes or entrance fees.
If you have a top rope set up please bring that.
Registration will start 8am May 3.

Please cancel your registration if you are no longer able to attend so that someone else can have your spot. If you can’t make it the morning of the event, give the trip leader a courtesy message so no one is waiting for you in the parking lot.
If you do not contact the trip organiser, this counts as a no-show. If you no show once, you will get an email from the Chair. If you do not show up twice, you will not be allowed to sign up for another event for 3 months. If you continue to not show up, your membership will be cancelled and refunded.
Please note that this is not a guided event and none of our trip leaders are professional guides. 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.
