Trip Report

On Saturday April 5, 2014 we met at the Columns at 8:00 for the Obsidians Basic Climb school rock climbing session. Obsidian and Eugene Moutain Rescue volunteers set up an engaging course for the students that included ascending a fixed rope, transitioning to a horizontal fixed line, and then rappelling. We also had a top rope climb set up, another vertical fixed line station, and a climbing techniques station. The students learned how to belay, rappel and travel on a fixed line as well as some techniques for crack climbing. The weather was good and all the students seemed to enjoy themselves.
