Camp/Climb Devil's Lake

From: Niki Exterovich
----------

What: A chilly 24 hours at Devil's lake to camp and climb!

When: Leave from Park Street Circle on Friday, October 9 at 6:00pm - Return to PSC by 4:00pm on Saturday, October 10

Where: Devil's Lake State Park (an hour north of Madison)

Who: Anyone fierce enough to brave a cold night of camping and who wants to go climb some stuff (beginners welcome!)

Cost: $10 (this includes the campsite fee, food for breakfast and lunch on Saturday plus marshmallows, and fuel for the drivers) to be given to me or your driver before you leave Madison!

Why: Ever had your morning coffee while watching the sunrise above the Wisconsin River valley when the leaves are turning? You'll also learn how to say "That's what she said" in French!

Camping: It will be COLD this weekend! The overnight low for Friday is 31F! I'll bring enough tents for everyone and try to grab as many sleeping pads as possible, but make sure you have a warm sleeping bag or bring lots of blankets! We're just car camping, so pack heavy!

Food: Trip cost will pay for breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Things you may want to bring on your own: money for dinner on Friday night or snack for later, something to drink on Friday night (but remember we're getting up around 4am and we have advanced wake-up tactics), and hot drink mix/tea for in the morning.

Climbing: All climbing levels are welcome but if we run low on space, preference will be given to those who are belay certified. Again, dress warm: its a high of 43F on Saturday! I'll already be near the lake on Friday, so I won't be able to open the cage for gear. If you need club gear, please respond to this email before Thursday at 11:00pm with your shoe size and harness size (regular or large) so I can grab gear for you.

Please respond to this email if you're interested in going or call me (even if you've already told me you're going), do NOT just show up at PSC. If you have any questions please ask! My number is 608-669-4227. - Niki
