Practice and Evaluation on climbing knots, roping up and prusiking.

This is an alternative activity for students unable to attend the same Field trip the following week.

For prusiking: You will be required to demonstrate the ability to ascend the rope, but you aren't required to use the pre-made foot prusiks for this.  You can use whatever combination of prusiks/slings that work for you.

Goodman B/C 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

If you are unable to show up at 5:30, that is fine.  Please email me to let me know your arrival time (must be before 7:00pm)
