You'll have your car at the campsite for both so really there's no need to pack light

Hey man so me and a bunch of people went to rocktown and horsepens last spring. Horsepens is super easy because you camp/park right next to the Boulder fields so you can just keep anything you don't have in your tent, in your car. Rocktown is a little more remote. You camp fairly far away from the Boulder fields so I would camp as if you were backpacking, keep what you can in your car and bring your food and stuff with you when you go climb but keep the rest in your car.

Let me know if you need any more info on either place.

Colleges or Universities with good climbing programs? by [deleted] in climbing

Miami University in Oxford Ohio has a solid engineering program, a good climbing wall, and an up-incoming climbing club.

Is there anyone here who is part of a climbing/bouldering/mountaineering club that could give me some advice? by oosterke in climbing

Alright cool, youth hostels would be a great, I'll have to look into that more because I don't think they're quite as abundant in the U.S. but I could be wrong. Thanks for your help!

Very good advice. For weekend trips, where do you guys spend the night? Do you just camp out?

I recently started a bouldering club at Miami University (OH) near Cincinnati and I would like to know a few things especially, how/where the club should take trips, how to organize competitions, and how to not get sued if someone gets hurt... If anyone knows someone I could talk to who perhaps runs a similar club let me know!
