Top roping locations are presented as a favor to the climbing community as a whole, and as such, are not activities of the
Los Alamos Mountaineers, even though many LAM club members are climbers and take part in the listed climbs.

at the base of the Overlook, with Guido Bender belaying (Jason Halladay

All top roping participants, regardless of affiliation, are welcome and must assume responsibility for themselves, and the
safety of the others at the crags. Helmet usage is optional, recommended,
and seldom observed. Experienced climbers are usually available to help in
the selection of appropriate climbs, to check anchors and to help with
belay technique (feel free to ask for help, if in doubt). You are encouraged
to check other's anchors, and report questionable sets to whomever is
responsible, or to any other climber/s at the session. There is no sponsor, and all equipment must be provided by the
participants. Climbing can be dangerous to your health!
