Date: October 9^th - 11^th, 2010

Castle Rock

Intro

Rock climbing trip to the nice and usually dry rock of north Washington state. This trip is not instructional (unless you find someone that would be willing to), and people should have some rock climbing experience, as well as access to the necessary gear. Ideally we'll organize everything through the web, so please put your name down if keen to come, and if you put your name on a car email the driver. Depending on the weather we can climb on Leavenworth or on Vantage, as they're about one hour away from each other.

Directions

See directions on VOCWiki Leavenworth page

Directions from Vancouver to Leavenworth

Vantage is just down the road from Leavenworth on the Colombia River ~1 hour or so

Cars

If you have space in your car, please post the spots. Passengers pay for gas. If you have a rope and/or rack, please indicate so that we can try and even out people with gear into cars with less gear.

Note: Passengers, contact your drivers a few days in advance to determine meeting locations/times. Contact info can be found on Member List. The onus is not on drivers to track down all their passengers.
