NOTE: LOTTERY STYLE SIGN UP. PLEASE READ
There is a lot of competition for early season climbs, and getting on has become a speed clicking contest. To make things more fair, we're going to do this on a lottery basis, as follows: If you are interested in this climb sign up any time on opening day, May 23. All names on the official roster and the wait list as of midnight, May 23, will be entered in a random lottery to select the roster and the wait list. Everyone who signs up at any hour on May 23 has an equal chance of getting on the climb.
The first three to sign up online will get an automatic acceptance email, but under this procedure they will not actually be on the climb unless selected in the lottery. I'll let you know the results in a day or two.
Leader's permission is NOT required.
The rope leader positions are already taken.
