Single pitch cragging at Headlight Point, all on easier stuff in the 5.6-5.8 range to get back into the feel of outdoor climbing.
Be prepared to hike about a mile in to the crags without a break so we can maximize our climbing time before the sun sets at 7:30. If you aren't comfortable walking uphill for an hour with your climbing gear without any long breaks, consider waiting for a another trip with less time pressure. We'll be climbing until it is dark and hiking back through the forest after dark, so a fully charged headlamp with spare batteries is required.
This trip is weather dependent, but right now the forecast looks pretty darn good!
Meet in the Dirty Harry's Balcony trailhead parking lot, geared up and ready to go at 5:30PM. Discover Pass required. There is a toilet at this trailhead.
