Thanks all for spreading the word and helping people experience the joys of the wilderness.
I think us over at Marin Sierra are still looking for a climbing director as well :P
You guys fixed all the inserts on your wall/ how often do you have to deal with that? I remember teaching camp school there a few years back and having to deal with the sketchy holds. I don't remember the exact details but I remember it being more than just simple spinners, nice tower though with the volumes.
Those chicken coop cabins where cold as balls since there was that freak snow in may. I was intentionally trying to almost overheat my laptop to prewarm my sleeping bag and pillow :P
I suspect you were at another camp for NCS- Camp Winton doesn't have a wall or cabins- all accommodations are tent, even staff quarters. Our climbing is all on natural rock. Were you at Camp Lassen possibly?
