TIE IN. DROP IN. GO DEEP.
We’re building a local climbing, canyoneering, and caving crew for people who love getting outside and getting after it every week.
Every Monday night, we meet for a casual potluck dinner to check in on the week, share photos and stories, recognize big days, and line up partners for the next round.

What’s ROPE BURN All About?

• Set your own pace, lead, follow, rappel, explore, or mix it up.
• CLIMBING:* Goal of 20+ OUTDOOR pitches per week. Rock, ice, mixed, trad, sport, top rope, and multi-pitch all count.
• CANYONEERING:* Goal of 15+ rappels per week. Anchors, rope work, route finding, downclimbing, exposure, water, teamwork, and moving efficiently through technical terrain are all part of the experience.
• CAVING:* Goal of 15+ rappels per week. Vertical rope work, rigging, ascending, navigation, crawling, endurance, problem-solving, and exploring underground make caving its own kind of challenge.
• Log your adventures. Share your photos. Stay consistent, week in, week out, all year long.

Monday Night Potluck Details:

• When: Every Monday @ 6:30 PM.
• Where: Russ’ house in Cottonwood Heights, UT.
• Bring: A dish to share, your stories, and your photos.
We’ll have the Rope Burn board up to track the week and watch the year build.
Climbing is tracked in white. Canyoneering is tracked in yellow. Caving is tracked in blue.
The weekly goal runs from Monday @ 6:30 PM to the following Monday @ 6:30 PM.
It isn’t about competition — it’s about building community, staying accountable, and keeping the stoke high all season long.
Climb hard, drop canyons, go underground, snap some shots, and we’ll see you Monday.
