The Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC) tried rock climbing for the first time with the help of Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). After meeting in Denver, we all piled in a van and drove up to Eldorado Canyon State Park. When we arrived, CPW already had ropes set up for us, and we quickly got outfitted with climbing shoes, harnesses, and helmets. Our guides explained how our harnesses worked, and everyone got to practice tying double figure-eight knots. Then it was time to climb on! CPW had put up three different routes for us to try, all with varying difficulty. Everyone was able to hop on all of the climbs they wanted to try - and just in time because soon rain clouds rolled in and we had to wrap up our time on the rock.
