We'll go up to Devil's Lake bright and early for a day of climbing, then stopping by Prairie du Sac afterwards (around 5pm) for some whitewater kayaking (Caitlyn's trip, see here: http://events.hooferouting.org/event/43777). Those who don't want to go kayaking could drive back to Madison, although that means we'll need an additional car, so let me know if you can drive and don't want to kayak.
This will be a beginner-friendly trip, so don't worry if you've never climbed before--we'll literally show you the ropes.We'll plan on meeting at the lakefront by Memorial Union at 8am on Thursday morning, picking out gear (Hoofers has shoes, harnesses, and helmets for you to use, or bring your own), and driving up to the Lake. Once at the lake, we'll set top-rope anchors, go over belaying and knot-tying skills for those who need to learn or review, then climb until 4:00ish. You must bring:
* Breathable, non-restrictive clothing
* 1 liter+ of water (if you bring nothing else, bring this!)
* Lunch/snacks
* Sunscreen
* Sturdy, high-traction shoes for the hike up to the crag
* A few bucks for gas and/or Culver's
You should bring (if you have them):
* Climbing shoes
* Climbing harness
* Climbing helmet
* Chalk bag
