Kelso

Gear Placement & Multi-Point Anchors -- Climbing at Kelso
- With a special invitation to Crag Crux Climbers

The response from participants of my past two clinic-and-climbing trips are encouraging. The knowledge and skills I learned from the RSL course have proven to be really good stuff and worthy of being shared with fellow ACC members. In this event, I will share with you the five key elements in gear placement and the setup of 3-point and 4-point equalette anchors. Then we’ll climb.

Kelso has lots of easy to moderate routes and harder stuff as well. There's somthing for everyone.

Gear required: rock shoes, harness, helmet (all gear must be UIAA approved)
Gear recommended: water, lunch, sunscreen lotion, mosquito repellent.

Please note that ACC insurance covers ACC members only. Non-ACC members can participate in this event for free if you have never attended an ACC climbing trip before. Basic ACC membership is $47 per year. Participants must read the Trip waiver before attending this event and sign the waiver at the beginning of the event.

Stay in peak-summer shape by going for a moderately paced mountain bike ride in Kelso.

The ACC is proud to announce yet another Earth Day cleanup, this year at Kelso!

Come help us, get a free lunch, and climb, if the weather holds.

Please be advised that Kelso has been re-opened to climbing however there is a temporary ban on top-roping. The Alpine Club will support this and any other restrictions necessary to keep the cliff open to climbing.
