1997 Castle Rock Trip

Return to Old Trips page
Trip Leader = A. Hitchings, assisted by K. Cole and C. .Cowing

Activities: This day trip invovled a short hike in to the Goat Rock area. We installed two top-ropes. The scouts then climbed up the face of goat Rock while being belayed from the top of the rock. Once at the top, scouts were given the option of descending using a j-bar (brake-bar), a fail-safe method of descending, invented by cavers. Some of the scouts took this option.

Recommendations: Take sun screen and plenty of water on a hot day, there is no water in the parking lot. This is a good pre-trip before taking scouts to do the Moaning Cavern rappel and wild tour.
