Took six students from the SCU Climbing Club out on Saturday.
They thoroughly enjoyed The Long and Short of It, Out of Sight, and Out of Mind. The chaos of the Tourist Trap and one of the students asking "is this the main climbing area in the park?" was the perfect set up for an afternoon hike up to Aftershock, where we had solitude and great views of all they places they could go on subsequent trips. We got two routes in there and hiked out at the golden hour, getting back to the cars at Manzanita just as it was getting "dark dark".
It was the second trip out for one of them, but for the rest it was their first time climbing at the park.
