Forgot to mention at the meeting that the National Park Service at the OBED have a program called Climb with a Ranger the first Saturday of every month, so this Saturday March 1. You go out to the OBED get some free coffee with the Rangers and then go climb. They will have the ropes set up and have harnesses for you. If you have never been climbing and want to try it out this would be a great way to get into it.

If you have any questions about it contact Matt Hudson: 423-346-6294

Info from website:
First, bring any questions you have and come join National Park Service rangers for a free cup of coffee at Lilly Bridge from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (EDT). Then, meet at Lilly Bridge at 11 a.m. (EDT) for our Climb with a Ranger program. If you have ever wanted to try the sport of rock climbing but did not know where to begin, let us help eliminate some of the uncertainty for you. We provide all of the gear. All that you need to bring is drinking water, sturdy footwear, a willingness to try new things and a can-do attitude. Depending on participant interests and ability levels, participants will travel to one of several different climbing areas around the park and will have participants back to their vehicles by approximately 3 p.m. (EDT). Would be rock climbers of all ages are encouraged to attend.
