PRIORITY TO TACOMA BAC STUDENTS and Tacoma rope leads.
BAC student registration is contingent upon passing rock field trips and the conditioner hike. When you e-mail for permission, please let me know your rock climbing experience, and a personal evaluation of your current fitness with concrete benchmarks (e.g. "climbed Si with 30# pack in <2 hours" and so on). Thank you!
This can be a pretty heady rock climb for new climbers. Please read about it beforehand so that you know what to expect. Among Basic rock climbs, The Tooth, Ingall's Peak, and Slippery Slab are a bit more approachable than Kangaroo Temple.
