Join us for our first official trip of the year for a weekend at the Shawangunks ("the Gunks"), in New Paltz, NY. Preference will be given to those participants of this year's Narragansett Chapter Intermediate Rock Climbing Classes. Trip size may be limited due to available trad leader participation and leader:second ratios. Climbers must be capable of climbing routes rated 5.6 or better lead belay, rappel, and have demonstrated proficiency in multi-pitch climbing. Lead trad climbers must be on the Narragansett-approved leader list. Cost: Lodging cost is $125 for the weekend with a $25.00 deposit upon registration. Participants may also find their own lodging and meet up with us. Food: On your own, with potluck on Saturday night. Use of the kitchen is TBD. Required Gear: The following gear is required for all trips: helmet, harness, shoes (climbing and for the approach/descent), belay/rappel device, personal anchor system, cleaning (nut) tool, two prusiks, three locking carabiners, headlamp, rope, rain jacket, water, lunch. If you are a new second and don't have all the gear (e.g. rope) contact the trip leaders. Your level of participation as a lead climber or second is subject to the determination by the trip leader of your possession of the requisite skills and experience. All participants must have experience in multi-pitch traditional outdoor climbing. Participants must be able to belay a lead climber, rappel, and ascend a rope. This experience can be obtained by taking the AMC RI, CT or Boston outdoor classes or from an experienced climbing mentor. If you are new to the group, these skills may need to be demonstrated in order to register for the trip. All participants must meet the AMC's Essential Eligibility Criteria For Rock Climbing https://drive.google.com/open?id=17c9ejfXQLgeR9uYmNwLgqY2jdsnGPwCp
