Advancing Alpinism:

Advancing Alpinism is a program for developing ad hoc seminars or outings to advance our skills in any area of climbing. We will offer a seminar on anchors and pulleys this winter where you can play with slings, biners, pulleys, and fish scales to test your own rock anchors or Z-pulley setups to see the forces we generate. We will also offer several ice and mixed climbing outings, from day trips to dry tool at Black Ice (Exit 38) to week trips to Ouray for the ice festival.

Look for details in the December Go Guide or contact Mindy if you cannot wait that long. Suggestions for seminars (weather forecasting tools, climb planning tools, etc.), activities or outside speakers are encouraged.
