As part of the first climbing circus, self-sufficient climbers are invited to join the party "open-cabin style".

If you're not a self-sufficient climber, check out the "official" part of the trip! !

Food

A light breakfast will be provided on Sunday. Dinner will be provided on Saturday evening.

Plan your own lunches and water (the cabin does not have running water).

Cost

$25 trip fee for non-students and $15 for students. Add $5 if you would like to sleep inside. Cost breakdown: $15 for food and $5 for Camelot stay with non-students subsidizing students $5.

If you're interested in (shadow) leading the official climbing trip, full climbing leaders may waive the trip fee and shadow leaders get a $10 discount.

Saturday night dinner and Sunday breakfast will be provided.

Climbing

We're planning to climb both Saturday and Sunday.

The trip is an "open cabin", meaning you'll be climbing without any "on-duty" MITOC climbing leader. Climbers are expected to self-organize into parties, but we will facilitate the planning and make sure no one is left behind!

There will be a collective planning meeting (#chaos) Friday night and Saturday after dinner.

Where to climb?

• The simple choice: Rumney (mostly sport) is 10 minutes from the Cabin
• Off the beaten path: Russel Crag (brand new parking lot! Great sport climbing, soft grades that'll make you feel strong)
• Spicy spicy: Franconia Notch and Cannon offer a bunch of trad climbing options.

Swimming

There are several options to swim after a hot day of climbing:

• The baker river, near the Rumney Parking lot.
• Sculptured Rocks Natural Area is a great geological formation with very fun swimming against the current.
• Newfound lake has a great beach and good swimming

Sleeping

We'll stay at Camelot.

Folks will be able to either camp on the property, or sleep inside. Bring your own sleeping gear.
