Report New club climbers Gabor, Zach, Gil joined Nick Haupt, MattStillerman, Peggy Renwick, Ben Currens, and DonBarry?.

Between some bouldering warmups, we rehearsed transition from climb to rappel, including rappel on a Munter hitch for emergency situations.

The next hour was spent learning knots and techniques related to transferring loads reversibly -- at the end every person did a full "escape the belay" sequence with a full body weight on the end of the rope, and then resumed the belay on a fixed anchor.

Peggy and Ben set up a treadmill for a caving ascending system and demoed it.

More climbing finished the evening.
