Seattle Mountaineers Program Center at 12:00 noon
Rain or shine, this workshop will take place entirely outdoors at the Seattle Program Center. We will use the large boulder field, the vertical rock wall and rock slabs to learn / practice techniques for ascending, descending and traversing rock.
On most scramble trips the leader brings a 25 meter rope to use as an emergency aid in assisting down-climbing a short slippery section. In some cases we simply hold on to the rope with one hand; in other cases we wrap it around our backs; and in other cases we put on a light weight climbing harness and attach it via a short line to the main rope. At this workshop, we will practice all of those techniques.
This workshop starts promptly at 12:00 noon and runs until approximately 2:40
