- Intro
We'll be heading to Rattlesnake rocks (Blue Hills) to review top-rope anchor building.
Requirements:
None other than mitoc membership, though this session will be ideal for those who attend Thursday's (3/21) TRS on basic knots or have prior exposure to common knots and principles of top-rope anchor building on bolts and natural features.
Where and When:
Sunday 3/24 @ 1:00-3:30 pm. Please fill out the rideshare, and park on the north/west shoulder of the road. (1539-1547 Wampatuck Rd, Quincy, MA 02169. GPS: 42.230552,-71.040188)
What We'll Cover:
The clinic will have a short review of anchor building principles (and knots/hitches as needed) but will be focused on maximizing anchor building practice. If there's time at the end we may climb as well.
