The MW Climbing Club had their first outing last week. About a dozen students and a couple of parents made it out to the Manchester Wall after school. Club members climbed until it got dark. For some, it was their very first time climbing.
From the jamesriverpark.org website: “One of the more unique areas of the JRPS is the Manchester Climbing Wall. Although most climbers would not consider it a destination, for many it is the nearest outdoor climbing venue and an invaluable training tool. This climbing area, under the Manchester Bridge in downtown Richmond, is a series of abandoned train trestles that have been equipped with bolts and shutts. Here climbers can hone their skills of leading, both trad and sport, rappelling, and self-rescue.”
