Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Cavers,

We are headed back to Tumbling Rock to conquer the Wildcat Extension. This will be the main focus of the trip; however, we will do more caving after we come back out of the extension. If there is time and we might even try to summit Mount Olympus! We should be inside the cave 4+ hours so be prepared.

This will be and advanced trip, Wildcat Extension requires tight crawls and higher than normal technical climbs. I will require at least one D4 trip and Climb at a Stone Summit 5.8+, or another caver's recommendation. This group will be small, and will be moving at a fast pace even through tight technical crawls and up technical climbs so please be sure that you are qualified. This is not a beginners trip, if I am not convinced of your skills I will move any caver to the wait-list for group and personal safety.

***There will be no helmet rentals for this trip***

Have fun and Get Dirty!!
