Trip Report

It was a rainy cold day at the Columns, but the class of 2022 perservered through the conditions to learn several rock climbing skills including traveling on a fixed line, rappelling, climbing, anchor building and more. They also had an important mountaineering experience of seeing how well their rain gear worked before going out into the mountains.
