Saturday morning, 6:30, at the Hwy 20 Hairpin Curve turnout below the Liberty Bell Group. I (Brian) will be there already, staying overnight Friday.
This isn't a good climb for your first multipitch (on lead or follow), so read about it before deciding. It has exposure. It has the sit and spin, and a free-hanging rappel. Rock shoes highly recommended.
Leader's permission required because I'm hoping to help a couple SIG groups. But I can waitlist anybody and you may get pulled in.
This is a great place to plan a weekend. Invite friends or family to meet you afterward and do some camping, hiking, or climbing of your own on Sunday. It's almost a holiday weekend if you stay over to the 4th of July.
