Itinerary:

NOTE:  THIS EVENT IS NOT AN ALL-NIGHT EVENT LIKE THE USUAL STONE SUMMIT EVENTS.  PLEASE BE ON TIME.

 

This event is designed for climbers looking to learn the principles of climbing required to climb harder grades.  The purpose of the event is to discover any weaknesses in your climbing technique and improve them so you will be able to get to the next level. 

  -  Improving footwork

  -  Increasing forearm endurance

  -  Other principles of moving up the wall efficiently

 

It is mandatory that everyone signed up for this event has some basic level of experience with rock climbing(has gone to Stone Summit or another gym atleast 3 times), and must have passed the basic belay test.

 

This event will not have an AOC discount, so the price will be $15 for non-members.

 

Stone Summit is one of the nation's largest indoor climbing gym.Whether you are a beginner or a world class athlete, they have a climb for you. Stone Summit has walls extending 25 feet to 60 feet high to challenge both your strength and mind, and a bouldering room that will not bore even the most fanatical gym rats. New routes go up on a weekly basis. In addition to climbing, yoga, and spin, Stone Summit also has a fitness center, consisting of cardio equipment, circuit training, and free weights. Whether you want a good cardio exercise or to be the next Arnold, they have all the top-of-the-line equipment to get you there.

 

If any member wants to buy a Stone Summit membership package, they will give us a 10% discount.


Required Items to Bring:

All climbers must have a harness, belay device, chalk bag, and shoes.  If you don't have any of those, they may be rented from Stone Summit.

 

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

- Wear clothes that allow you to move freely, it is a good idea to wear pants that cover your knees and protect them from scrapes. 
- I would not recommend jeans


How to Get There:
Event Directions:

Since this is in town, there will be no carpool for the event. If you see other members living in your area on the list, by all means, please try to carpool. Note that I-285 gets really busy during rush hour from GA-400 to I- 85. If you know how to get there using alternate routes, you probably want to try that.
