We will meet at 8:30 am at the parking lot at 199 Round Pond Road, Nottingham, NH (directions on the permission slip) just outside Pawtuckaway State Park.  It is approximately a 1-mile hike into the climbing site, and Scouts should bring a backpack with lunch, plenty of water (2qt minimum), and any additional clothing.  Vertical Dreams will provide climbing equipment and instruction at the climbing site.  Following approx. 5 hours of instruction and climbing, we will hike back to the parking lot and go to Wah-Tut-Ca for the overnight camping. 

Signups are due by the September 8th troop meeting.  All scouts and adults attending also need to complete a Vertical Dreams Liability Waiver.  Access these documents by clicking on the buttons below.
