Climbing School Graduates Trip to Tres Piedras

This is a rock climbing trip for Climbing School graduates from this year or other recent years.  It is intended to be a fun, moderate outing to one of our favorite climbing areas so that graduates can continue to improve their climbing skills and get a reward for their hard work during the school!  Tres Piedras is located about 90 minutes north of Los Alamos and features low-angle slab and friction climbing on beautiful granite knobs and slopers, mostly bolt-protected with some gear placements.  We will set some top rope climbs in the 5.7 to 5.10 range.  Leading opportunities are more limited, starting with 5.8 trad or 5.9 bolt routes.  One request:  those students/graduates who missed the Ludwig leader-fall exercise are still welcome, but should not belay lead climbs.   
 
Let's meet at the Sullivan Field parking lot across from the High School at 8:15 AM to sign the Club waiver, then depart by 8:30 AM.  Climbers from Santa Fe can join us at the Northern New Mexico Community College in Espanola at 9 AM.  Bring your climbing harnesses, helmets, shoes, lunch, and raingear.  If you already have a rope, bring that also so that we can set up more climbs for everyone.
 
I realize that Memorial Day weekend is a busy time for everyone.  But it's the only time in May that I can do this trip, so I hope that some of you can come.  Please e-mail me at norbert.ensslin@gmail.com if you would like to come on this trip.  That way we will know how many graduates are coming and how many climbing leaders should be invited to help set up climbs.
