Itinerary:

From the trailhead, we'll hike up to the Main Face which is almost at the top of the mountain. This face is easily visible from GA 75 between Cleveland and Helen. The hike is approximately 2.5 miles and gains about 1500 feet in elevation. Once at the Main Face, we'll set up several top ropes and enjoy a full day of rock climbing with spectacular views and good company. Although the climbing is fairly easy on Mt. Yonah, the required hiking makes this a physically demanding trip. So, please be prepared to be tired and hungry by the end of the day. For those interested, we may grab dinner afterwards in Helen or Cleveland.

Required Items to Bring:
Participants must bring their own harness, climbing shoes, and helmet. I do have a small amount of extra gear, so feel free to contact me if you're missing something.

climbing gear listed above
belay device and locking carabiner if you have them
hiking poles
I will bring a first aid kit

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $48.00 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:

Warning: Climbing is inherently dangerous and carries with it a significant risk of personal injury or death. The Atlanta Outdoor Club does not recommend that anyone participate in any dangerous activity, including climbing, unless they first obtain qualified and personal instruction, are knowledgeable about the risks involved, and are willing to personally assume all responsibility associated with those risks. Although the trip leaders do have prior climbing experience, you understand that by signing up for this trip, you are responsible for your own safety and well-being and release the Atlanta Outdoor Club, its members and directors, and the trip leaders from all liability.
