Itinerary:

This climb is planned for Sand Rock in Leesburg, AL, but it is weather dependent. The event is scheduled in the Central time zone where Leesburg is. That is 10:00am Atlanta Time. 

Everyone will need to have their own shoes, harness, helmet, and belay device. You will need to know how to top-rope belay. You must have attended at least a few indoor events recently. Although there may be one or two lower-level climbs to maximize your experience, I recommend that you be able to climb at a level that is approximately equivalent to Central Rock Gym (5.9). Climbing will be top-rope style with ropes set for you as well as some lead climbing if you're certified for that with the climbing gym. I will move anyone that does not qualify with these requirements to the waitlist for everyone's enjoyment and safety.
