Riverview - South Carolina quarry bouldering

This is a short clip taken during a recent session down at the local crag. This route (believed to be called Milkiti) is one that several of us have been working on. it diverges at the top to follow a few different routes, names unknown at this time. I need some help in creating a map of the area, so if anyone knows any of the route names please let me know!!


this is a clip of Tony on the final moves of Wasp on the Dynamite Wall.

Jan 27th Update of events

Here is your update for January 27, 2007

We are planning out this years’ calendar, at least the big events. So if you have any suggestions on where or when feel free to drop a line anytime. Also we are on the lookout for people that are willing to act as guides this year. If you are interested please, PLEASE, PLEASE get in contact with us, as of right now there are no qualifications to be a guide. We are actually setting up a ‘training program’ for interested guides. Certification (possible free) through major organizations, to include but not limited to First Aid CPR, Wilderness First Responder, Leave No Trace Master etc…

Right now on the tentative Outdoor Adventures Calendar we have:

* A trip to Atlanta bouldering areas and outdoor gear stores sometime in the next 2 weeks, along with another one in February, March, and April.

* a 3 or 4 day Toccoa Kayaking and Camping trip planned for April

* a 3 day and a 2 day Chattooga whitewater rafting trip for June,

* a skydiving trip in May, June and July

* a wildflower hike in April

* An overnight Congaree Swamp trip.

* An overnight Savannah Forts and islands trip.
