Butcherknife Climbing
Date:        Every Wednesday
Time:         6:00 – Dark/Rain
Got shoes and a harness? Complain that none of your friends will go with you? Here’s your chance. Steamboat Climbing Community (SCC) handles the ropes and setup. Come meet some other local climbers. Bring ropes and anchor to help setup (if you have it) – beginners welcome but this is informal  and not a clinic, expect to belay – we will work with newbies – kids welcome but need adult supervision and belay – this is a great opportunity to climb once a week with new locals. Meet at Butcherknife Canyon in Stehely Park. Call/email with any questions.
