[FULL] SATURDAY BL – DAM CLIFFS Beginner Sport Climbing

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.

Hey everyone!

Noah, Micah and I (Raff) are heading to Dam Cliffs for the Saturday of Boree Log. Check out some of the climbs on thecrag, there’s a huge variety of grades so everyone is welcome. At the end of the day before heading back to the campsite we will be deep water soloing and swimming, likely joined by some other trips cooling off as a pitstop on the way back to the campsite. It should be a super chill fun day out. This is a beginner trip so no experience is required and we will set up top ropes, however if you wish to lead or do your own thing that’s all good.

We will aim to leave the campsite early, however both Noah and myself may have to wait a bit to make sure everyone is sorted to get to their trips as we are organising Boree. There will be no rush to get back to the campsite either, likely with a lot of messing around in the cold water. If the weather is less than ideal and we have to change plans we will just have a lovely cold and wet swim instead of climbing. To show that you have read the description, let me know which is more sinful: barefoot climbing, or climbing with socks and shoes?
