Preference for Stephen Johnson SIG students until July 1st. Inquiries before then are not guaranteed a response.
Strong rock climbers may want to stay one more day for Concord and Lexington Towers. It's a chance for "bonus content" as a Basic Student to do some climbs that are often listed as Intermediate difficulty.
