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:

Please join me for a hopefully fun urban free climb and optional hot wings eating contest in downtown Atlanta. Because building management may try to stop us, the exact downtown building we will be doing the urban free climb is a secret (it will be disclose in person only at the carpool location).

The itinerary for this event is very simple. We will meet at a secret carpool location and carpool down to Atlanta together. After circling the target building several times to make sure no one from building management or the police is on to us, we will quickly attempt our free climb of the 52 story building.

To add a little challenge to this event, we will be doing this event in the dark. [This is a necessity and the trip leader apologizes in advance if he is alittle tired and incoherant because he will also be participating in Steven and Danny's earlier AOC "Appalachian Trail Hike - Georgia to the Smokies" event of the day (http://www.atlantaoutdoorclub.com/events/details.asp?eventid=4851). I will be doing that event in half the alloted time of 23 hours and 58 minutes so I can make it back in town in time for this event.]

If free climbing the building with just your bare hands and climbing shoes (like Alain Roberts) is too easy for you, please feel free to make it harder for yourself. Suggestions include carrying extra weight with your parachute.

Why the parachute you ask? Since this event is too easy so far, we will also be base jumping once we get to the top (after sufficient time to admire the view from the top of course -- sorry there will be no sunset view due to the late start of the event).

Afterward, please consider joining me for the optional hot wings eating contest at "Hot Chicks" (770-555-5555) located just around the corner from our target building.

Required Items to Bring:
Climbing shoes
Parachute
Sense of humor

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Climbing chalk (if you must)
Extra weights (if you want a little more of a challenge)
Camera (for the great view of downtown Atlanta from the top of the building)

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $12.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. 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:

A maximum of 3 friendly dogs are permitted on this urban free climb. They must be able to do the climb with you and don't forget to pack an extra parachute of the appropriate size for your climbing partner. Please keep in mind if you do bring pets, you may have issues attending the optional hot wings eating contest portion of the event.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review the AOC cancellation policy.
