Merri-Mac's
location and facility are ideal for introducing our campers to one of
the fastest growing and most rewarding outdoor activities. Girls begin
on one of our three climbing walls, learning the basics of movement and
balance on our Traverse Wall, becoming comfortable with heights and endurance
on the Forty Foot Tower, and mastering footwork, and perhaps even learning
to lead, on the Indoor Overhang.
From here those who are ready can move out to some of the finest granite
in the Southeast. We ordinarily begin with out of camp trips to The Jungle.
While the boulders are fairly small here, they
are perfect for helping bridge the gap from obvious artificial holds to
random rock. For those ready for longer routes we head to Pisgah for a
day at Snake's Den or Looking Glass Rock, or perhaps to Grandfather for
some steeper routes.
Along the way campers learn basic skills such as knot tying, basic safety,
belay and rappel techniques so that by the time they progress through
the Bronze, Silver and Gold Bars they have logged thousands of feet and
years of experience on North Carolina granite.
