Local Non-PMC Climbing Events

The events listed on this page are not PMC or PMC-sponsored events, but are likely to be of interest to club members.

Seneca Rocks Community Rescue Training April 19 9am – 4pm

In contrast to many major climbing areas, Seneca Rocks does not have a (close by) official rescue team. Seneca Rocks is a completely different animal. When an accident occurs on the mountain, climbers and the local guides are the rescue team.

To help local climbers to be prepared to assist in a rescue, Tom Cecil and Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides are offering a Community Rescue training session at Seneca on Sunday April 19.

Details of what’s involved, what to bring, the meeting place and how to register are on the Seneca Mountain Guides Facebook page

There is a nominal cost of $50 to attend.
