This is a community trip open to anyone who wants to join MOCS for a fun day of roped climbing on rock in a beautiful place. We welcome climbers of all abilities -- from folks who have never climbed before, to folks who have been hitting the gym and want to experience outdoor climbing for the first time, to experienced outdoor climbers who just want to climb with other Memphis folks. We welcome youth on the trip as long as they have an accompanying adult.
We will climb at 9am at Fern Clyffe in southern Illinois. Ferne Clyffe is about a 3 hour drive from Memphis. We are happy to connect participants so that they can arrange carpools. Ferne Clyffe has nice camping available, so you can stay the night before if you choose. We will climb until around 4pm.
We will provide all necessary climbing gear, including harness and helmet, or you are welcome to use your own. We can provide loaner climbing shoes as well. As with all MOCS trips, the trip will be lead by AMGA certified outdoor climbing instructors.
