Trip Report

The Obsidians Climb School celebrated its 70th anniversary this year! Seven decades of teaching students the skills needed to safety travel on snow and rock. This year, given the popular demand, we opened it up to 30 students. On February 16th at 12:01 AM registration opened and it was full in minutes. In a couple hours we had 27 people on the wait list. We wish we could have taken everyone, but we just don’t have the capacity for that big of class. The students had fun tying knots (more than just the 4 they learned in 1948), learning what to bring on a climb, appropriate clothing and food. Then came the climbing skills with a session at the indoor rock gym at the Bob Keefer Sports and Recreation Center in Springfield, outdoor climbing at the Skinner Butte Columns (how to travel on a fixed line, rappelling and rock climbing) and then finally learning snow skills (self-arrest, traveling as a rope team, snow anchors) at Hayrick Butte. The students and volunteers were enthusiastic and motivated, making it a fun class.
