Itinerary:

Who's ready to climb some walls out in the wilderness?  If you've got at least a little climbing experience and want to try an outdoor climb, this event is for you! 

We will head out bright and early to Leda Wall in Soddy Daisy, TN, which is just outside Chattanooga.

Leda is a moderate challenge climbing area.  Climbing will be Top-Rope style with ropes set for you by our own Dave C. and Holly M.  We recommend that you be able to climb at a level that is approximately equivalent to Stone Summit 5.8 or Atlanta Rocks 5.7+.  

Note:  This is NOT recommended as a first timers climb; this event is for people who know how to belay and have climbed at least a few times in the last 6 months.

Everyone will need to have their own shoes, harness and belay device.

If you have your own rope, and are willing to allow others to climb on it, please contact Dave C. at 770-827-7932.  We'd be glad to increase the size of the trip to include you and your rope.  An additional rope is the ONLY way this trip can expand its maximum group size. Those with their own rope and lead gear will find ample sport lead climbing opportunities at Leda.  Fun for you, fun for us!  :)

The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:
This event is weather-dependent.  It's neither safe nor smart to climb during rain and storms so in the event of bad weather we will reschedule.  Be sure to check your email often for updates.
