The Ridge Tahoe has started a rock climbing program. The instructor teaches an introductory class on Tuesday with a free climb (that is harnessed for safety but without implements) up some rocks and a rappel down.

Rick did the day two climb in the morning and then figured he could free climb the second course also. Here he is midway up the chimney without the ladder.
