Fall Family Climbing Day 2024!

Eagle County Climbing Coalition is once again hosting a free family climbing day. Do you have kids who like climbing at the gym and have always wanted to try climbing outdoors? Do your kids love climbing outdoors, but you lack the equipment needed? Are you just curious about the ins and outs of climbing outdoors with kids? Then join us!! Please bring a picnic and your family to spend the day top-roping with us at the Practice Slabs in Camp Hale.

ALL CLIMBING EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Where: The Camp Hale Practice Slabs are located off the main entrance to Camp Hale. Drive about .8 miles past Nova Guides (heading South) on 10th Mtn Memorial Highway and turn onto Camp Hale Spur 1B (Rd. 716.1b). Drive straight for about .5 miles crossing the little bridge near the abandoned military structure. Make a left-hand turn on Rd. 714.1 and then park.

What: Because community outreach and development is one of E.C.C.C.s core missions, we are excited to provide an opportunity for families to come together and spend the day learning about rock climbing. The Practice Slabs are a kid-friendly climbing area with grades mostly under 5.6. Additionally, there is a Forrest Service bathroom at the climbing area and a tipi fort building/play area, making this the perfect spot.

When: The Family Climbing Day will be held on September 21st. The event usually starts at 10 a.m. and ends around 2 p.m. There is no registration (though R.S.V.P.s are encouraged), and you are welcome to come and go as you please. Join us anytime during the event and stay as long as you want.

Thank you to Adventure Travel Guides (https://www.goatgi.com) for providing the ropes and equipment. Their partnership with E.C.C.C. is greatly appreciated.

Please, (while not necessary) if possible, RSVP so we know how many people will be attending. If you have any questions, please email us at eaglecountycc@gmail.com; see you there!
