Gear Placement & Multi-Point Anchors -- Climbing at Kelso
- With a special invitation to Crag Crux Climbers

The response from participants of my past two clinic-and-climbing trips are encouraging. The knowledge and skills I learned from the RSL course have proven to be really good stuff and worthy of being shared with fellow ACC members. In this event, I will share with you the five key elements in gear placement and the setup of 3-point and 4-point equalette anchors. Then we’ll climb.

Maximum numbers of participants: 8 (can be increased depending on the number of leaders available)
Gear required: rock shoes, harness, helmet (all gear must be UIAA approved)
Gear recommended: water, lunch, sunscreen lotion, mosquito repellent.

Please note that ACC insurance covers both ACC members and non-members. Non-ACC members can participate in this event for free if you have never attended an ACC climbing trip before. Basic ACC membership is $47 per year. Participants must read the Trip waiver before attending this event and sign the waiver at the beginning of the event.

Please contact the trip coordinator for more information and to RSVP.
