Come get some evening practice on the Columns! Maybe sign the summit register!
We'll set up some topropes on the various sides of the columns and get some laps in while practicing and refining foot and hand jam techniques. We'll also try some flaring off-width climbing! Fun but terrifying!
All skill levels welcome, but if you're new to crack climbing be prepared to take a rest day on Tuesday. And maybe pack band-aids.
Be at the Columns at 5:30 ready to jam!
