Things you should know...
What Should I Bring? Polarized sunglasses. They make it easier to see and provide eye protection. Sunscreen, brimmed hat, rain gear, a warm insulation layer, a dry change of clothes, snacks for half day trips and bagged lunch for full day trips. Always have plenty of water along.
What Should I Wear? Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Mountain weather is unpredictable, so be prepared for rain, sun, and cold weather. For the approach you’ll need tennis shoes or light hiking boots.
What Should I Eat? Food is important for both half and full day trips. A light snack for half days and a nutritious lunch for full days. Water is probably the most important item of all (a good rule is about 1 liter per 4 hour trip).
What Should I Bring?
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Camera
A sweatshirt or fleece jacket in case it is cool
A rain jacket or poncho. We won’t make you climb in the rain but we may wait out a brief shower.
A small day pack to carry these items is also important
Do You Stock Any Of These Items? Yes, we have a fully stocked outdoor supply retail store.
What If It Rains? If the weather is bad we may have to cancel the trip with a full refund. If a trip is rained out during the outing we give you the option of finishing the day out in our indoor climbing gym or receiving a pro-rated refund. Your choice! We will make every effort to reschedule your trip if desired.
