Itinerary:

If you've ever wanted to try rock climbing, this event is a great opportunity for you to do so. Joe Rockhead's has some of the largest facilities and most comprehensive lessons in the country.

This event is open for those who have never climbed before and for experienced climbers. For those who have never climbed, the lesson has been booked for 2:30pm and will last about 1.5 hours. If you require a lesson, please sign yourself up as a beginner. If you will not be taking the lesson DO NOT sign up as a beginner, even if you haven't been climbing that long. Two days before the event, I will call Rockhead's and finalize the number taking the lesson, based on the number of beginners. We need a minimum of two. Please note: if we don't have at least 3 people taking lessons two days before the event, the lesson will be cancelled. If that happens, the beginners that were signed up will be notified by email.

If we have 6 people or more taking the lesson each person pays $30, less then 6 each person pays $35. Both prices include day pass, harness & shoe rental. If you do not require a lesson or rentals you pay $15.

If you do not need a lesson you may still need to pass Rockhead’s test if you are not on their computers. If you do not pass the test you will not be allowed to belay, you can only climb or boulder. We will partner up depending on who is ready to go.

Stay as long as you like, leave when you want to, but for those who choose we will probably go to the nearest pub (Shoeless Joe's) for a drink at around 6:30pm.
