What we’re about
Welcome to the Knoxville Rock Climbing Meetup Group! Starting over as the old group didn't really have anybody interested in actual climbing :), hopefully that changes.
Plan to organize 4 types of events
1. Indoor Rock climbing at OnSite or River Sports indoor climbing gym for beginner and intermediate climbers, I was a good climber in my prime and secret to good climbing is technique not strength, so would love to teach people. Other experienced climbers are always welcome to be mentors as well. Also would be a good place to network for experienced climbers.
2. Outdoor Rappelling and Beginner climbing - this would not be free and only for group regulars.
3. Climbing for young climbers - like toddlers and above
4. Non-Hardcore Hikes - Beginner climbers are not going to want to climb every week but it's good to stay in touch and try it every now and then. The local hiking groups are a little too hardcore for my old self :).
The meetup fees are 270$ per year and so the fees, for now I am paying out of pocket. the 2.50$ fees will also keep the scammers out.
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CRASS BEHAVIOR and NOT FOLLOWING SAFE CLIMBING PRACTICES. HOWEVER YOU AND YOU ALONE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY AND NOT THE ORGANIZERS.
