*TRIP FULL* Intro to Multipitch Climbing (Intermediate)

Hey everyone,

This Saturday Gabe and I (Jack) will be running an introduction to multipitch climbing at reservoir dogs, at Medlow Bath in the Blue Mountains. This is an intermediate level trip, and participants should be comfortable climbing outdoors at grade 18 or higher, and should have experience lead belaying. Also note that this is a rap-in crag, so experience using a prusik is advantageous.

If the weather is good, we will plan to meet at the Medlow bath car park at 10am, walk in together and climb for the whole day. For people coming from Sydney, we will organise carpooling or pickups from public transport.

Please include in the comments: your climbing experience and ability, whether you are able to drive, and your favourite breed of dog (since we are going to dogs :)).

We will also run a multipitching workshop for participants at the ledge on Thursday, so please include whether you would be able to make it to this.

Any gear that you require must be collected independently from the gear cupboard at UNSW on the regular gear night.

• Gear required: harness, helmet, climbing shoes, ATC guide (suitable for top belay) + carabiners, prusik
• What to bring: sunscreen, 2L water (minimum!), food for the day, sporty clothes, a warm jacket, rain jacket, a day backpack to fit all your stuff inside, smiles, etc.
• Meeting point: Medlow Bath carpark, 10am.

Feel free to reach out to Gabe or myself on facebook with any questions.

Get keeeen!
