TIMES:
Junior Team 5pm - 7pm
Senior Team 6:30pm - 9pm
Guides will leave the parking area promptly at 5pm.  If you are late, hike up to the base of the routes.  Senior Team members hike up to the base of the routes and find the coaches for direction.  One will be at the base of either the Walkup Area or the Barney Rubble Area.  Senior Team members are welcome to attend the Junior Team session to assist and learn from the coaches.

RULES:

1. All climbing groups will have a group leader (coach or guide)  Climbers are not to climb without the supervision of that group leader.
2. All climbers must wear a helmet.  Steepteam provides helmets for use.
3. All belays are to be done with a Petzl Grigri belay device.  Steepteam also provides these for use.
