Great gathering of club climbers!

You’re invited to come climb with the club tomorrow, WEDNESDAY April 30. Our meetups are open to all skills levels — both leading and top roping. We’ll meet at the trailhead at 5:45pm and start hiking up no later than 6pm. Just head up the trail if you’re late!

Parking is limited at the trailhead (and only open to the public on weekdays btw), so consider carpooling with your buddy. We can help coordinate if you DM us.

Bring along your climbing gear, a HEADLAMP, and a post-climb beverage. Please message @onwardguides if you need to borrow a harness, helmet, shoes or other gear for the evening.

See you there! 🤘

Our meetup last night at Baker Mountain was a blast!

Now held on WEDNESDAYS, this week’s climb club meetup will be held at the Baker Mountain crag in Saranac Lake. Parking is limited, so please carpool and heed parking regulations around Moody Pond. The approach is ~15 minutes and often muddy, so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet and dirty. We’ll be able to put up ropes on routes ranging from 5.4 to 5.11.

Approach info in Mountain Project link in bio. We’ll try to have someone at the trailhead at 5:45p to show the way for newcomers. Don’t forget your headlamp and after-climb beverage!

Don’t have your own gear? DM our friends at @onwardguides ahead of time to borrow some for the night.

Had a great time with the crew at @vanhoevenberg tonight! Love the encouraging energy everyone brings. Hope to be back outside soon!

With inches of fresh snow on the ground and low temps tomorrow, looks like we’re headed back to @vanhoevenberg for our Thursday meetup! The gym was recently reset for their climbing comp, so lots of new problems and routes to try! See you there from 5:45-8pm. Don’t forget $7 for your after-hours pass.

Bring your puffy, your pad, and your pal to the McKenzie Pond Boulders on Thurs, April 10 for this week’s club meetup! We’ll brave the cold and go pull on some real rock for the first time this season. (Maybe bring a hand warmer for your chalk bag too, and a drink for afterwards!) Map link in bio.

Another great night at @vanhoevenberg with all our climber friends! Thanks to everyone who came out to join in the fun. See y’all next week! 📸: @keepontrekkingg
