What does a Trip Leader Do?

• Sign up for one of the trips listed on our trips page, or if you want to be original make up a new one.
• In advance: with your Co-leader, arrange for camping, transportation (including who will drive the GSB vans), and get the guidebook and maps
• Trip weekend: with your Co-leader, make sure you have the club gear. Once at your destination, help set a few top ropes and GO CLIMB!!. You might have to show a few beginners at first, but then you go and have fun
• Ensure the safety of the setups and the safety of your participants
• Make sure we get all of our gear back
