| This fun group enjoyed two excellent days of weather as we refined our climbing, belaying, and rapeling skills. The first day was spent on Staender's Ridge and the second day at Rope-de-Dope Block. Participants were divided into groups of three and rotated between top roped stations, where they took turns belaying each other. Route difficulties ranged from 5.3 to 5.8, with most routes being 5.5 to 5.6. Many thanks to my very talented assistants who led several rock climbs and oversaw the climbing stations. Thanks to Cindi Ewert for providing the group picture. |
