TROOP 1128 December Indoor Climbing

Vertical Rock Manassas
December 10-11, 2016

DETAILS: Troop 1128 is going on an outing December 10-11, 2016 to an indoor climbing gym, Vertical Rock Manassas, at 10225 Nokesville Rd, Manassas, VA. This is an overnight lock-in. After two hours of climbing and belying instruction, scouts can climb all night, play games, and/or sleep. The gym has a wide range of routes rated from 5.5 to 5.14 and a bouldering area. There will be NO tent camping and NO patrol cooking, but pizza, snacks, and drinks will be available.
Scouts should wear class B uniform shirt, loose-fitting athletic shorts or pants, and sneakers. The gym will be able to provide climbing shoes for most scouts. Scouts should bring a sleeping bag, toiletries, and (optional) playing cards or other favorite game. No previous climbing experience is necessary. The trip is open to all Scouts. In addition to the form below, parents must complete the waiver for each scout at http://climb-va.com/e-waiver/

DEADLINE: Because final numbers must be given to Vertical Rock four days in advance, scouts must sign up AND turn in their permission slip and $40 fee by Tuesday, December 6, 8:30PM. LATE SIGN UPS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

SCHEDULE: Scouts should arrive at Andrew Chapel on Saturday, December 10, no later than 7:30 PM (evening). We will depart promptly at 8:0 PM (evening), and will return by 8:30 AM (morning) on Sunday, December 11.

COSTS: There is a $40.00 fee per participant (Scout and adult) to cover the facility fee, Vertical Rock climbing staff, equipment rental, and pizza. Adult participants who do not plan to climb pay $10.00.

PARENTS: Drivers may be needed to get us to Manassas Saturday evening and to pick us up on Sunday morning. It is approximately 35 miles one-way to the climbing gym. Please indicate if you can help with transportation for your son.
