NJIRT - Basic Vertical Workshop The New Jersey Initial Response Team (wilderness and cave rescue) will host a Basic Vertical Caver Workshop at the Sterling Mine, in Ogdensburg, NJ on May 17th starting at 08:00. This class is an entry level class for the novice vertical caver, but also is a great opportunity for more experienced vertical cavers to practice on a 80' cliff. The class will cover: Vertical caving equipment, Knot tying and Safety. Practical sessions will include: Rappelling, climbing, change overs, cable ladders, and belays. Participants are asked to donate $10.00, split between the team for rope gear wear, and the Sterling Hill Mining museum to cover the use of the facilities. Participants will need gloves, boots, and a vertical style helmet (no elastic straps, strap must have a quick release buckle) A limited number of climbing systems will be available for loan on a first confirmation basis. Class will run until 4 PM, bring a lunch. Cavers that wish to confirm should contact Carl Heitmeyer for directions and more details.
