I dunno, but I don't think you'll be feeling up to something like that so close after the RRR, but maybe that's just my own take on the situation.
I know I wouldn't be wanting to climb any obstacles so soon.

That's kinda what I was thinking. And if not....it'll be a good way to work out the post-hike kinks! _________________ ~Tracy

I talked to a friend that taught these classes for awhile. He said the first session is an orientation, gear distribution, how to tie a sling and other stuff that wouldn't be so physical. .....if they are following the same schedule. |

so I need a little shopping help here in the spirit of color coordination.
I'm looking for blue-gray climbing shoes and a blue gray helmet (i think I can locate that helmet)
or
a purple harness and a purple helmet.............
or
maybe a SPF shirt in both purple and blue.
