rock climb - intro to clean aid day - si - July 9, 2022
SI - Single pitch, instructional outing. Come try out clean aid climbing in Brighton granite to keep the climbing in the shade. Helmets required. Rock shoes not recommended for the aid portion of the day; boots preferred. Aiders and etriers will be available to borrow to try out aid climbing, as will trad gear. If you have trad gear, bring it. A brief introduction to the theory and practice of aid climbing will start the day, and then people will have a chance to try aid climbing on gear. Clean aid does not require pitons or other (semi-)permanent pieces; only clean trad gear will be used.
