which is 3-4 hours long with a period of time for open climbing afterward
the class is finished. There is still room for 3 more scouts in the

they are welcomed to come along to climb after a short instructional
session. Scroll down for additional details. If your scout wants to
attend, please send an email to Diane Gill at diane.gill67@gmail.com by
Friday evening. A signed waiver (see below links) and permission slip
