5.Circus Alternative!

Changed to 1 day trip. If you'd like to stay for Sunday you may also join the "unofficial" but there will be no guidance on Sunday.

Do you want to meet fellow climbers within the MITOC community?

Are you sad that this month’s circus is limited in size and probably won’t have climbing?

Saturday July 18th - Saturday July 18th

(join unofficial trip if you'd like to stay to sunday)

Come with us on a climbing-only side-circus in Camelot! It’s a 10 min drive from Rumney, a great spot for sport climbing! The number of people we can take is heavily dependent on the number of full sport leaders/shadow leaders we can find. If you sign up as a full sport leader I will manually bump you off the lottery and into the trip directly. Shadow leaders will be bumped until we hit a 1:1 full leader to shadow leader ratio.

Requirements

You must be top-rope belay certified at an indoor gym. You must have a good idea of what grade you can confidently climb indoors. You must have a helmet, a harness, climbing shoes, and an assisted-braking belay device (e.g. grigri, jul, ATC pilot, but NOT a normal ATC). These can all be rented. Any non-leaders must attend the pre-trip meeting. Leaders who have not previously been to Camelot are recommended to join for the beginning.

Itenerary

We will try to have a couple of small groups go to various crags at Rumney. Each group ideally has 2 full leaders but we may also get approval from climbing chairs for specific pairings of 1 full + 1 shadow.

Cost

$10 climbing trip fee (standard for climbing trips). Leaders (full+shadow) do not pay trip fee.
