SATURDAY BL – Trad Climbing at Cosmic County

Hello adventurers,

Cameron, Zara and I (Tad) will be leading a climbing trip to Cosmic County during the Saturday of Boree Log. This is a faraway land of untold cracks, all flavours of jam and gripping sandstone.

No climbing experience is required as we’ll set up the climbs for you to second or top rope. There are plenty of climbs at a range of grades. If you are experienced and feeling confident, you may get a chance to tie into the sharp end of the rope and lead climb.

This is a predominantly trad climbing area, with some mixed and sport routes. The idea is that we will teach you all about trad climbing, the type of gear used for protection, how to place gear safely and how to make bomber anchors.

Please include in the comments: your climbing experience, whether you are able to drive, favourite starting OG pokemon (Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur and Pikachu) and what climbing gear you already own.

We will meet up at 8:00am on Saturday morning at the Boree Log campground near the trailer or you can arrange to meet at the parking area in Clarence. Any gear that you require will be collected together on Saturday morning from the trailer.

• Gear: harness, helmet, climbing shoes, ATC + carabiner (if you have your own make sure you bring it!!!), climbing tape or crack gloves to protect your hands (not essential).
• What to bring: sunscreen, 2L water (minimum!), food for the day, sporty clothes, a warm jacket, a day backpack to fit all your stuff inside, camera, smiles, etc.
• Meeting point: 8:00am at Boree Log Trailer (Cathedral of Ferns Campground, Mt Wilson).

You need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you can then sign up for another trip, this just makes it easier for volunteer trip leaders. 

Please be aware that as the weather is unpredictable, trip leaders may need to alter trips accordingly

See you there,

Tad, Cameron and Zara
