Beginner Climbing / Feed Blair and Minus cake

Hey Team,

Blair and I will be teaching a bunch of you to climb. If you’re well behaved and bring us cake, I might even teach you how to lead too!

Mount Alexandra is about an hour and a half from UNSW, making it a convenient day trip. We have limited car seats going from Sydney with Blair, so organise lifts with him on the UNSWOC Facebook page, whereas I will be coming via Bowral, so may be able to give people lifts from the train station (organise on the Facebook page, limited seats available). Otherwise you can just drive and meet us down there.

We have shoes, ropes, harnesses belay devices and carabiners, so this is a good way to get into climbing outdoors if you haven’t done it before and have no gear of your own.

Bring food and at least 2L of water.

Especially cake.

It will be cold (forecast is for 4-8 degrees). If you get hypothermia because you didn’t bring a warm jacket or downie I will personally fine you at Boree Log and others will laugh at your stupidity!

If you have any questions, ask on the Facebook page (note that there is a fee of one piece of cake per question, two if they have already been answered here).

Here is where the carpark is:
