The Yale Climbers Get-Together

This Saturday the Ragged Mountain Foundation (www.raggedmtn.org) will be holding their annual "Adopt a Crag" event in conjunction with the Access Fund. We will be working on the trails along the base of Ragged Mountain as well as climbing. I expect we will have enough people there that most of your time will be spend on the rocks instead of moving rocks.

Everyone in the Yale community is invited to join us. You don't have to be an experienced climber to attend. I will arrange transportation from Yale at 8:30 on Saturday morning, leaving from AK Watson Hall (Prospect and Trumbull). If you need a ride or can offer a ride be sure to let me know - send email to peterson-john@cs.yale.edu to help with or use transportation. We expect to return around 4pm but this will depend on the weather. I'm sure some cars will be staying earlier or later.

We will set up topropes at all climbing abilities. If you've never climbed before we'll have some easy routes set up.

If you need climbing gear, the Yale Climbing club can loan out gear for the day. If you need gear please contact me. We'll go over to Siliman sometime Friday to pick up shoes.

The Yale Climbers Mailing List

This is an unofficial mailing list for climbers in the Yale community / vicinity. This list is open to everyone: undergrads, grads, faculty, staff, and anyone else in the area. This mailing list is not a club (Yale also has an official climbing club with a small gym and gear) but rather:

Some people will occasionally announce trips through this list. These are NOT sanctioned in any way by Yale or any other organization. Come at you rown risk!

The great thing about Mailman (the mailing list software) is that nobody has to do anything to maintain the list. Anyone and add themselves, remove themselves, or look at archived messages. Posting is restricted to list members only to avoid spam. To send mail to this list use climbers@cs.yale.edu; this goes out immediately to everyone. To add or remove yourself from this list, head for http://mailman.cs.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/climbers

There is an archive of mail to this list.

More information about climbing at Yale can be found at the Yale Mountaineering Club page.

If you climb at Ragged Mountain, please join the RMF.
