Hello Uscenders!

Finals are coming up and I wish you all good luck! It is also very close to winter break, and you know what that means?! A climbing trip to Red Rocks, NV! Here are some things you need to know.

First: Before I start trying to organize the trip I would like a headcount. (Even if you are interested, but not sure about the trip, please contact me.)

Second: I want to try and have this trip be from Friday morning (January 2) to Sunday evening (January 4). Dates are subject to change if you guys want it on a different weekend. Please contact me if you would like this changed.

Third: This is the trip plan.
Friday: Leave in the morning at 8 am. (We will figure out carpooling once I get a for sure on the Uscenders attending). Arrive at Red Rocks Campground at 2-3 pm (Nevada time). Set up camp and make lunch. Today we will not be climbing outside, but I will have the Uscend group pay for everyone to go and support the local climbing gym in Nevada: Refuge Climbing Center. We will do this around 6 pm and climb until your fingers can no longer pull on any plastic! After this, you guys are free to do whatever you would like for the night.

Saturday: Wake up and make breakfast around 8 am. Leave for climbing crag at 9 am. CLIMB ALL DAY LONG OUTSIDE! Please pack lunch and lots of water, it will be an awesome day filled with climbing!! Leave crag around 4-5 depending on daylight. Eat dinner at the campground at 6 pm. After dinner, you guys are free for the night.

Sunday: Wake up and make breakfast around 8 am and PACK UP CAMPGROUND. Leave for climbing crag at 10 am. Climb until 2 pm. Please pack lunch and lots of water. After climbing, we will head home with 0 skin left and sore bodies.

Fourth: The club will be covering the costs of: the campground, climbing and Refuge, and possibly gas. (I will find this out once I get a headcount because I have a certain limit I can spend). You guys will be in charge of bringing your own food and camping supplies. (If you don't have camping supplies such as a tent and sleeping bag, you can rent it for extremely cheap through Outdoor Adventures at the University of Utah.

Fifth: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR FIRST CLIMBING TRIP, PLEASE JOIN THE EVENT PAGE AND START CONTACTING ME ABOUT IT IMMEDIATELY. I need to reserve the campground a few weeks in advance to make sure we can get it.

Thanks!

Uscend.
