Rock Climbing

I'm taking a group of my outdoor skills students rock climbing in Lincoln, Arkansas tomorrow.  For some of them this will be their first time on the rocks and this trip will help to make sense of the things we have been learning in the classroom.  You may be wondering why I'm including this posting on my whip blog and the reason is that outings like this one are perfect opportunities to bring along a whip or three for the kids to mess around with.  Cracking whips and wilderness sports go great together.  Here's my packing list for tomorrow:

  • Static rope(s)
    • One for rappelling
    • One for Yo-yo runner
  • Dymanic rope(s)
  • Prusik slings
  • Free carabiners
  • Locking carabiners
  • Friction devices
    • Figure 8s
    • SBG
    • ATC
  • Rope pads
  • Webbing (anchors & harnesses)
  • Harnesses
  • Tarp 
  • Wasp spray
  • 1st aid kit
  • TP
  • Knife/multi-tool
  • Camera 
  • Extra batteries
  • Lunch
  • Snacks
  • $
  • Drinks (i.e. water)
  • Cell phone
  • GPS
  • Comfy clothes
  • Hat 
  • Whips :)
Happy cracking,
