CLIMBING)
What is sport climbing?
• A form of rock climbing that relies on permanent anchors fixed to the rock, and possibly bolts, for protection.
• The same as leading routes indoors. Sometimes you will have to place the quickdraws on the bolts as you climb.
• To solve all queries and questions by the end of the meeting
• You should then spend the next week decided whether you can commit.
• At this later stage we will ask for deposits. Then we can book flights. Until we do this the dates may shift slightly.
