Activity Notes
Mt. Hubris (The Ogre) is a renowned climbing route on top quality granite, just right for new trad leaders seeking to sharpen their skills. With an straightforward approach, clean lines, and amazing views, it's a great experience all around.
We will carpool from Portland to Castle Crags State Park on Thursday and spend two nights, with the summit day on the middle day. We'll have a potluck style dinner after the climb, and a relaxed breakfast on Saturday before we return to Portland.
Please note preference will be given to recent AR and ICS grads.
