Optional Weekend - Sun Apr 16Saturday didn't bring too many students for this optional weekend, however this Easter Sunday you needed tracking devices to find them. However the brave few who did show up got some good climbing while a small group practiced ascending. The day turned out to be yet another sunny day, however windy. The small group of students and instructors forgot for a moment that not too many showed up and before we knew it, the clock chimed 5pm. What happened? Did we have fun out there once again?

| Darryll inspecting an anchor set up by Nikolay. |
|
| Mike and Darryll explain the intricate ascending technique to Meta and Nikolay. |
|
| David in full swing on his way to an overhang. |
|
| Ron and David belaying fellow students. Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to keep an eye on the climber? |
|
| Adam is giving David some invaluable pointers on this section. However even standing on his toes, it just doesn't seem to be enough. |
|
| Another example of a preoccupied belayer. Scott busy talking to Sharon, while Anna is hanging on for her life. |
|
| This rock is slipperly. However Nikolay is not a person giving up so easily, eventually making it pass the overhang. |
|
| Mike and Seth setting up two new top ropes. Hoping one rope would be enough, but after a few tries, realize they have to use two of them. |
|
| Excited about the new climbing routes set up, Seth is all over the cliff making his way, route after route. |
