SUNDAY:
FIRST PRIORITY: Rock gym trip to PrimeClimb: noon to 5:30 or
so. Cost will be about $25 or so. We will meet at Konover and go to an unknown
(at this time) stairwell to practice knots and belay techniques. I will not
come in unless someone emails Jstewart@hartford.edu their interest by noon Saturday
and phone number.
SECOND PRIORITY: If no one expresses a solid interest in climbing by Saturday
noon (and Sunday looks like a good hiking day), I will email members Saturday
afternoon an alternative Sunday hike plan.
