Upcoming Trips for 2012

Anchor Building Course Time:
Day 1- 5:30pm-7:30pm (Will be held at CRG)
Day 2- 8:30am-3pm (Meet at CRG and then leave for outside location)
Description:
The Anchor Building Course will teach the basics of anchor materials, building, and safety. The first day will take place at the gym and will consist of anchor materials and knots. On the second day, we will go out to a local crag and practice setting up natural, bolted, and a brief overview on building trad anchors. This course is designed for anyone looking to build safe top-rope anchors in simple terrain where the belayer will belay from the bottom of the cliff, as well as for the indoor sport climber that wants to know what a safe anchor entails when they get to the top of an outdoor route.
