Signups open 12pm Noon on Monday the 28th.
The the are 2 diffrent mutli pitches that we wil choose between, with the approch being 4 very amazing absails.
The 2 route are;
Shandy – 99m, 3 pitches. Grades 8,8,6.
Dirty Rotten Pigs – 130m, 4 pitches. Grades 19,19,17,14
We will be split up into groups, and decide beforhand the most appropriate routes for each party.
While you do not have to have done a multi-pitch before, this will be an intermediate trip as you are expected to be competent with:

- Basic personal organisational skills
This will be an all day event and we will carpool from Sydney early on sun morning, so please let us know in the comment if you have a car and where you will leave from.
