Welcome Weekend
Sunday, 29 August 2010 05:17
Hoofer Mountaineering's annual Welcome Weekend trip to Devil's Lake will take place September 18-19! This is our biggest event of the year, and a great opportunity to meet fellow climbers and learn the basics of rock climbing. If you have never climbed before, or are new to the sport, don't worry! This is a very beginner friendly trip meant to develop basic skills and build camaraderie among members of the club. Sign will start at the beginning of fall semester.
 
Summer means its time to get up into the mountains!

Carl, Jeff, Jen and I trekked the 10 hours down to The Red for a weekend of sport climbing on some world class sandstone. We made it in to Miguel’s late Friday night and after breakfast on Saturday, were joined by Ellen and her friend at The Great Wall in Muir Valley. While Jeff and Carl started on a 5.10, the rest of us headed to Legends of Limonite—a beautiful 5.8 with an exciting start! We crushed a few other routes at The Great Wall (Edge-a-Sketch, Ohio Arts, Mamma Cindy, La Escalada) before moving to The Hideout to run up Boltergeist and proceed to The Solarium to attempt (and let Jeff crush) Manifest Destiny and Banshee before the sun went down.
