Reminder: To participate in an outing, you must somehow communicate with the coordinator listed prior to the

day of the outing.  This allows the coordinator to ensure that the group size and individual fitness and skill levels

of all participants are suitable for the outing.

Codes:

* You must have basic rock climbing skills such as belaying.

** You must be a member to take the training courses.

*** The women-coordinated outings are designed to meet the goals of female members, and male members are always welcome.

#  The outing includes a peak listed on the LVMC 50 peaks list.

Class Ratings:

1 - hiking on a trail

2 - rough cross-country travel, occasional use of hands for balance

3 - frequent use of hands for climbing, moderate exposure, most do not use rope/some do

4 - intermediate climbing, constant use of hands, high exposure, most do use rope/some do not

5 - technical rock climbing - using rope, harness, climbing shoes, anchors, and protection hardware

(5.0 through 5.14 - 5.0 easy, 5.14 most difficult)
