Meet at Surprise Corner parking lot and depart lot at 5:00 PM for the Black Band wall on Tunnel Mountain. Route grades vary from 5.8 (3 routes), 5.9 (4 routes), 5.10a (9 routes) and up to 5.11a. 15 minute approach.
To those I have yet to meet, you can find me wearing an orange ball cap with a bright red backpack.
*Beginners welcome but you must have passed the EP belay test (top rope only ok).
New to climbing but don’t know how to get started? Take the “Learn the Ropes” program at EP, pass your belay test and come join us!
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
*Participants must have their own shoes, harness and belay device.
*Those who have them please bring PAS, draws, anchor.
*I only have one personal rope. Highly recommended if you want to climb that you bring a rope if you have one. :-)

Layers, snacks, water, bear spray, rain jacket.

Event is weather dependent, and Elevation Place indoor climbing is the backup. If the weather does not appear favorable, I will send an email by 4:00 PM to indicate a change to the backup location.

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
