Technical Climbing Trip Information

Climbing activities will be subdivided into two categories - General Climbing and Advanced climbing. General climbing includes beginner and intermediate level climbing and Advanced climbing is at the intermediate and higher levels of climbing. The trip leader and lead climbers will determine how many climbers, i.e. seconds, can participate. Also, they will determine if the individual climber is capable of climbing at the General or Advanced Levels and multi-pitch routes.

All ice and rock climbing trip participants are required to have a helmet, belay/rappel device (capable of double rope use), 3 locking carabineers, 2 prusik slings, 2 slings 2 foot long, 1 sling 4 foot long, a cleaning tool, harness, climbing shoes, headlight, extra clothing and rain gear, food, water and a pack.

All trip participants will be required to sign this Acknowledgement of Risks, Assumption of Risks, and Release Agreement for AMC Volunteer-Led Activities. Please print it, read and sign it, and turn it in to the trip leader.
