Tuesday Night EARNEST Anchors and Socials
A Tuesday evening social hour dedicated to the importance of EARNEST climbing anchors!
Join us for an engaging Tuesday evening social hour, where adventure and camaraderie come together! Bring your own dinner and beverage to fuel the excitement as we delve into the world of climbing anchors and essential knots. This is a course for the community; a $10 fee covers the venue and equipment costs.
Our climbing guides will be your companions throughout the evening, ready to answer questions and demonstrate the art of crafting secure climbing anchors. Discover the ‘why’ behind this essential skill as we walk you through the materials needed and explore various anchor types.
During the winter months, we’ll have ice on hand for those eager to practice ice anchors. While we can’t offer trad anchors just yet, we will cover the basic principles that apply to trad protection.
