Itinerary:

Lower Leda is an interesting area with some really cool climbs. It's smaller than Upper Leda so this trip is capped at 8 climbers (2 top ropes up at a time, I'll move them through the day), Top ropes will be provided and set. The Area is bolted for Sport leading.

The expected climbing rating is around 5.9, although there are a mix of easier or harder climbs available, so I'll adjust depending on the skill level of the group.

The bolting at Leda is generally good, offering lots of opportunities for sport lead climbing (Sport leaders are expected to bring the needed gear.)

Required Items to Bring:

Harness, Belay Device, Climbing Shoes, Water
Sport Leaders (only) also need Rope, Quickdraws, Helmut, and Daisy Chain(Personal Protection)

Recommended Items to Bring:
