Saturday – Beginner’s Rock Climbing Trip – Barden’s Lookout

G’day friends,

Cameron and I [Tadeh] will be leading a rock climbing trip to Barden’s Lookout in the Blue Mountains on Saturday.

No outdoor climbing experience is required as we’ll be setting up top ropes. We will teach you the basics of how to safely climb outdoors but it is preferred that you have a basic level of competency with indoor rock climbing. The easiest climbs are between grade 15 and 18.

Please include in the comments:

• Your rock climbing experience/grade;
• Whether you are able to drive;
• Your favourite animal; and
• What gear you already own.

We will meet up at 9:30am on Saturday morning at Barden’s Lookout carpark or you can meet us at the crag if you arrive late. I will collect any gear that you need and bring it up with me.

• Gear required: harness, helmet, climbing shoes, ATC + carabiner (if you have your own make sure you bring it!!!).
• What to bring: sunscreen, at least 2L of water, food for the day, sporty clothes, a day backpack to fit all your stuff inside, camera, smiles etc.
• Meeting point: 9:30am at Barden’s Lookout.

I will be heading up on Friday so you are welcome to camp the night before with me or camp in the blue mountains on Saturday night after our day of climbing but you will need to be self sufficient.

See you there!
