Jewels & Gems crag in Chapel Pond Pass is the place to be this Wednesday night for our weekly climber meetup. J&G has a super quick approach, and routes that range from 5.6 to 5.11. With face climbing, cracks, and overhangs, this crag is a classic for a reason. Link in bio with driving, parking, and route info.

🎒 Bring in your pack:

• Climbing gear
• Headlamp
• Swim wear if taking a dip in the pond after
• Bug spray

Need to borrow gear? Our friends at @onwardguides offer free rentals of climbing shoes, harness, and helmet for folks to try. Just DM them ahead to reserve.
