What

On Thursday evening we'll be doing a Self Rescue BBQ at Danehy Park. This should be a fun, casual opportunity to refresh/practice your self-rescue skills and meet other safety-conscious climbers.

Who

This gathering is aimed at those who have already taken a self-rescue course and / or have practiced these skills independently. It's a refresher review for previously learned skills, not initial instruction.

Time

Thurs 8/4, 5:30-6:30 food and social hangs, 6:30pm - Dusk is practice time

Location

At the grilling area in Danehy park. Roughly here: Map There is a small parking lot at the Sherman Street entrance to the park, nearby. The park is also T accessible from the Red Line, and bike accessible as well.

Activities

Practicing self-rescue skills and enjoying food/socializing. Skills possibly covered:

Escaping the belay

Ascending rope

Hauling/mechanical advantage systems

Other ideas welcome

Food / Drink

Again, food is 5:30-6:30. Basic grilling food (+vegan meat alternative) will likely be provided, pending a final confirmation. Folks are encouraged to bring any special foods they'd like to share, potluck style, though! Bring your own non-alcoholic drinks

Bring

Any gear that you would expect to have in a self-rescue situation (Harness, carabiners, prusik cord, cordelette, etc.)
