Please bring your device with Gaia loaded on it, along with a map and compass if you have one. (If you don&#39;t have a compass, we highly recommend one with magnetic declination.) A climbing guidebook could also be helpful. If you don&#39;t have a map and compass, we&#39;ll have a few we can lend out.&nbsp; We look forward to seeing you there!
