Hey keen beans!
Jayden and I (Nic) are stoked to be leading a climbing trip to Stonehaven next weekend on the Sunday 1st of December. Keep reading to find out the secret question you’ll need to answer to be accepted on this trip and don’t worry about the weather, why would you even ask, it’ll be fine. It should be a fantastic trip.
We are looking for participants who have a fair amount of climbing experience: have already climbed indoors, particularly lead and who knows how to lead belay, and who want to learn to lead outside. You don’t need to be particularly strong, as long as you can get up routes and want to practice/learn lead climbing/belaying/falling, or any combination thereof, we’d love to have you!
Registrations for the trip will open at 10:30am Sunday the 24th of November.
