Gym to Crag: Bouldering

Group trips organized by instructors, focusing on Outdoor bouldering. Suitable for climbers with a variety of bouldering experience, from gym crushers, to first timers outside. Instructors can help to select appropriate routes, provide guidance on movement, as well as tips and info for managing pad placement and fall safety. Groups may stick together in areas with lots of route options, or separate to explore areas a short walk away.

Meet at MetroRock at 7:30am, and expect to be back at the gym by 8pm. Participants should plan to bring food and water to satisfy them throughout the day, though it's likely we'll stop quickly on the way back for gas/snacks/goodies.
