Climbing legend Fred Beckey to speak at The Evergreen State College

Famous photo of Fred Beckey

Don't miss this very cool opportunity to see a local (and international) legend in person! It's safe to say that there's no more experienced climber on the planet today (and who is still climbing). It's only 5 bucks! Here's the information:

The Outdoor Program at The Evergreen State College has the honor of hosting Fred Beckey as guest speaker on February 11th, 2015. This two-hour presentation will cover his favorite climbs through photos, videos, and stories. Please join us for an evening honoring the life and legacy of Fred Beckey and his progression from a fledgling climber in the Pacific Northwest to a world-wide mountaineering legend.

Upcoming trip reminders

Hi, everyone.

Snow is (again) beginning to accumulate in the mountains! To celebrate this, we have two trips planned in early 2015:

January 10th - Snowshoe trip to Mount Rainier Space is limited! See Mr. Coker soon for a permission slip and make sure you don't miss out. We'll be collecting a $10 fee for this trip to cover gas and district van use costs, and there might be an additional (small) fee for rentals. I'm working on getting us a deal to keep it as close to $0 as possible. Check your email for trip details.


February 7th - Skiing/Riding at White Pass Remember--we're taking this trip through Lacey Parks, so in order to get on the list you need to call 360-491-0857 and let them know you're interested in the specific February 7th trip. You can also stop by their office next to City Hall. It will cost $15.00 for a trip up in the vans, and we'll be able to get everyone a group rate for lift tickets (as long as we get enough people). Check your email and/or see Mr. Coker for more details.

More important dates:

• Our next Warehouse Rock Gym night is January 8th
• January 21st: Concession fundraiser, NTHS v. Capital Boys Basketball

Keep checking your email for more info!

Rock Gym this Thursday!

This year's THIRD OFFICIAL "NTHS Night" at the Warehouse Rock Gym is coming up this Thursday, December 4th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.  It's only $10 (plus tax) for a pass and rentals--a very good deal! See you there, and bring a friend! Just show them your school ID and/or let them know you're an NTHS student.

You do need to complete and turn in an NTPS field trip form--you can pick one up in the library. You only need to fill out one of these for the entire year.

Also, if you're under 18 (and most of you are) you must have a parent/guardian sign a printed waiver.You can get one here or stop by and pick one up from me in the NTHS Library. You can't climb at the Rock Gym without it.
