The club will be having 2 practices a week: 1 during the week, 1 on the weekend. We try to go outdoors at least twice a month while the weather is still nice!
Where does the club climb?
Most of the club members climb at Cliffs Harlem and this is where practices are held. Come join us! Outdoors, we lead a variety of trips to climbing areas like Central Park, Rumney (New Hampshire), The Shawagunk Mountains (The Gunks), and Birdsboro (Pennsylvania).
I am just so confused and none of these answers helped me in any way :-(
