Dear Friends,

UROCK climbing team is organizing an outdoor climbing event on Sunday, September 29th, 2019 in Afqa.

Afqa is a peaceful village located in the Jbeil District of the Mount Lebanon Governorate, 71 KM northeast of Beirut. It has an average elevation of 1,200 meters above sea level.

1. General Information:

   Levels: Easy to intermediate.

   Wear a loose & comfortable top, that gives you maximum freedom of movement. Choose long pants to protect your knees from scratches & abrasions.
   It is now cold in the mountains, so have a jacket on you all the times.

   Of course having your climbing shoes is ideal, otherwise Converse or running shoes will do the job.

   There are no nearby markets, hence for lunch bring your own snacks & beverages, and DON’T FORGET to BRING WATER for the entire day (2~3 liters per person)

2. Gathering

   It is important to be on time by 7:30 AM at Carpet Plus – Dbayeh highway, for the schedule to run as smooth as possible: We will leave at 8:00 AM SHARP, & we will have a 15-min breakfast stop at Wooden Bakery Zouk Mosbeh, and then we head to the climbing site directly.

3. Transportation

   Currently, we DO NOT PROVIDE transportation. You need to have your own car or share a ride/carpool with any of the attendees.

4. Fees include both equipment & guidance

   • LBP 35,000 / person,
   • LBP 30,000 / person for groups of 6 or more,
   • LBP 25,000 if you show your valid membership,
