Ropes and Stokes
Mulino / Port Blakely Training Ground
Directions:
From I-205 exit 10, head south on OR-213 for 11.3 miles. Turn left on S. Graves Rd as you enter Mulino (use caution - oncoming traffic can come around the corner pretty quickly). At approximately 1 mile, turn right onto Howards Mill Rd. Proceed on Howards Mill for approximately another 2.6 miles. Park on the right side of the road near a gated gravel road. Parking is somewhat limited here and we often share the use of this area with equestrians, so please try to carpool and leave space for vehicles with horse trailers.
We will be doing some rope work and practicing moving stokes on ropes. No previous rope work necessary. Helpful gear bring a seat harness it they have one. Everyone should bring their 1" webbing (15'-20'), a locking carabiner or two, leather gloves, long sleeve shirt,long pants and a helmet. If you do not have this equipment do not let it stop you from joining us, just contact a training committee member.
All members must complete two hands on stokes trainings each year to be current.
