Climbing!
Want to come climbing? We're going climbing, both top-roping and bouldering!
Is there a target audience?
The target audience for this trip is "new" climbers. If you've never been climbing before, this trip is for you. If you have limited climbing experience or aren't sold yet on climbing and want to try it out again, come climb with us!
When?
The plan is to climb after work/class Wednesday, May 22. We'll aim for 6pm, with the gym staying open until 10pm (guaranteed belay for at least 2 hours).
Transportation
The gym is at 74 Acton street, Watertown, MA. There is an easy bus route to get to the gym from MIT.
Suppose you're feeling generous and want to help people drive to the gym. In that case, we have a rideshare document. Friendly drivers can put down their starting location or a general pickup location, and hopefully help a few people to and from the gym!
Cost
The cost will probably be $24 for entry and gear for non-members. We may have a few gym members present, and they might be able to give you a guest pass. If you have a guest pass and are willing to share it, please reflect that in the sheet
Trip prerequisites
In order to streamline getting a group rate from the gym, we have a form for you to fill out. Please watch the safety videos and fill out waivers ahead of time if you haven't already! Their front desk is often understaffed, so the more we can take care of at home, the easier it is on staff.
A belay cert is good if you've climbed and have it, but we're not expecting people to have it.
Questions
If you have questions, email a trip leader!
