On Belay – Rock Climbing

November 20, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

All Discover Diablo hikes are subject to, and will honor, all applicable COVID-19–related restrictions in place for our area.

About this Event

Come join Save Mount Diablo for a day of beginning rock climbing instruction at Mount Diablo’s classic Boy Scout Rocks. We will go over equipment instruction as well as coaching on a number of top rope climbs, and provide insight into the importance of climbing stewardship at both climbing areas and in outdoor recreation. Rock climbing is a very fun activity with great benefits.

Be sure to bring: snacks, water, sturdy shoes, and rock-climbing shoes.

SMD will provide harness, ropes, hardware necessary and instruction.

Heavy rain cancels.

Due to COVID-19, we are limiting the hike to 8 participants. All participants must bring a mask and stay 6ft apart. Hand sanitizer will be available at the hike.

Participants will also be required to accept our COVID-19 Protocol (available during registration).
