Beginner Sport Climbing – Bonnet Bay

Hey! Kieran and I (Cam) will lead a beginner sport climbing trip this weekend.

With snow in the mountains we’ll be staying in Sydney, heading 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 Saturday morning, spend an awesome day climbing, head back to Sydney in the evening.

You will need to bring:

Climbing gear:

• Harness*
• Climbing Shoes*
• Helmet*
• Belay device and locking carabiner*
• Chalk Bag (optional but recommended)

(*) – Can be borrowed from the gear shed at UNSW 4-5pm Thursday, hire is free for club trips but remember to bring cash for a deposit!

Other:

• At least 2L of water
• Food and snacks for the day
• Sunscreen
• Personal medicines (epipen, antihistamines, etc.)
• Comfortable shoes for the crag + warm jacket
• Some cash for petrol for your driver.

Any questions let us know! See ya there!
