Beginner Sport Climbing – Bonnet Bay

Hey! Sam and I (Kieran) will lead a beginner sport climbing trip next Monday on the 3rd of October 2022 (Public holiday).

We’ll be travelling down to the shire to clip some bolts. Let us know what grades approx you’d like to climb! (if you don’t know what grade, that’s okay! you can write in the comments how often you climb indoors).

The plan: Get down to Bonnet Bay by train or car (carpool, do you have a car and can drive people? if so you’ll get preference) on Monday morning, spend an awesome day climbing, head back to Sydney in the evening.

You will need to bring:

Climbing gear:
