Basic Rock Climb - South Early Winter Spire/South Arête
The Basic rock climb is prioritized for Kitsap branch members until August 1, 2026. Other branch members, please email your interest and I will place you on the offline waitlist starting on July 11, 2026. Please do not use the Mountaineers notification system associated with the climb. Simply send me an email. If seats are available, and there are no Kitsap branch members on the online waitlist, I will confirm your availability then manually add you to the climb.
