[FULL] Multi-Pitch Sport Climbing – Saturday Nov 11

Update: Trip has been postponed by a week due to wet weather

Hey everyone!

Lucas, Alfie and Linna will be running an INTERMEDIATE multi-pitch climbing trip next Saturday, 4th of November tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 11th of November at Reservoir Dogs. We will focus on multipitch skills in a relatively safe environment.

IMPORTANT NOTE

As an intermediate trip, we expect that you are familiar with the following skills:

• Lead climbing and lead belaying
• Basic abseiling skills
• Indoor/outdoor sport climbing comfortably around grade 18-20

Just as a side note, these are only to ensure the safe running of this trip. If you need a refresher or want to learn any of these skills, don’t hesitate to contact us, and we can show you at The Ledge on Thursday.

WHAT TO BRING

• Climbing harness*
• Climbing helmet*
• Belay device + two locking carabiners*
• Safety sling + locking carabiner*
• Prusik
• Climbing shoes* (COMFORTABLE – i.e. not your aggressive indoor bouldering shoes, you’ll be standing in them all day)
• 2L of water
• Lunch, snacks
• Medication, if needed
• A small backpack (assume you’ll need to climb with all your belongings, so don’t bring everything but the kitchen sink)
• Wind breaker or jumper (it can get very windy)
• $5-10 for your driver

* Asterisked items can be borrowed from the Gear Cupboard on Thursdays, remember to bring cash for a deposit

The trip leaders will be bringing personal gear as well as climbing ropes, a First-Aid Kit and an emergency locator beacon.

In the comment box please tell us: your indoor/outdoor climbing experience (grades and climbing frequency), multipitch experience, and if you’re willing to drive!
