What are people's take on tapering before a trip? When I was rowing we used to taper before races. Do folks on here do this for climbing trips as well?

A quick search found this. In summary, it should help.

Been told on good authority that the way to go is 1-2 weeks, volume about 50% of usual but keep the intensity high - keep the intense power endurance stuff, drop any aerobic traversing and so on.
