Spring Break Weekend Trip - Red River Gorge

Hello Climbers! Do you want to climb over spring break, but can't commit to a week long trip? If yes, than it's your lucky day because we have planned a weekend sport climbing trip to the Red River Gorge, KY over the first weekend of Spring Break! 

Although this is a sport climbing trip, we will not require any ratings to sign up. Top rope/sport climbing education and ratings may be aquired during the trip, if necessary. However, we still encourage everyone to acquire atleast some top rope education prior to the trip.

We will be carpooling down to Kentucky with 3 personal vehicles. One car with will leave on Thursday afternoon (for those looking to get an early start!), and the other 2 cars will leave on Friday morning (for those with exams, classes, etc on Thursday). We will return to Madison either on Sunday or Monday night (depending on the needs/wants of the group, or weather).

The deposit of $35 for this rechub event will cover the cost of the camp ground, and a few (not all) meals while on the trip. Fuel costs will be split among the passengers of each car independently (Venmo, etc). After gas, food, and other expenses, the total price estimate comes out to about $110.

If the weather forcast looks bad in the week leading up to the trip, we will look to relocate the camping/climbing trip to a new location or cancel/refund if all else fails.

Tent sharing, itinerary specifcs, and other logistics will be covered in more detail during a pre-trip meeting. If you have any questions, please send an email to ajregner@wisc.edu.
