Pt Perp Trad Climbing

Hey Guys,

We’ll be having a fun weekend doing some sea-cliff trad climbing at Point Perp (https://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/point-perpendicular). If you lead trad, or know someone you might want to second – get in touch with me and i’ll sort you out with the finer details.

This is an intermediate trip: you will be required to be self sufficient (finding your own leaders, lift, climbs within your grade) but happy to help if you need.

We’ll be staying in honeymoon bay (toilets, but no water). It’s about a 5 minute drive, and most climbs are 5 to 10 minutes from the carpark!

Some suggested things to bring:

• Trad rack (There’s a lot of thin cracks, as well as offwidth and usually pretty consistent sized cracks, so doubles or triples are good)
• Helmet
• Rope
• Shoes
• tent
• sleeping bag (it will be cold at night!)
• windproof jacket (gets windy sometimes)
• Bolt hangers for carrots
• Anchor building stuff (A lot of the anchors are set a bit back from the edge)
• rope protector
• Food/snacks
• Water (there is no water at the campsite!)
• Beer/wine/spirits
• Sunscreen
• Insect repellent
• Head torch

What we’ll bring from the club

• Static ropes for descending and some short ones for anchors. All climbs are rap down climb out so be prepared to prussik if you think you might be stranded.
• Some rope protectors (but bring your own if you have some)
• Club trad rack
• Guide book (it’s quite old)
• *If you need anything specific, head to the gear night or let me know.

Look forward to seeing you all there. If you have any questions – send me a message on facebook.
