Archive:Son of Rock 2010
Synopsis
Son of Rock is the traditional spring/summer instructional climbing trip. The rock is finally dry, the snow sucks, and the days are long. The plan is to have several stations set up in the vicinity of the Smoke Bluffs in Squamish. There will be at least one instructor at each station. All ability levels are welcome and no climbing experience is necessary. Tentatively there will be 4 skill levels: absolute beginner, anchor placement, sport lead climbing, and trad climbing. Group size will be determined by instructor availability.
Trip organizer: Ignacio
Date
- May 29th - 30th, 2010

Tentatively the idea is to meet on Saturday in the Smoke Bluffs parking lot at 9:00 am
