Greetings Minions,
Oscar and I will be running a sport climbing trip to Dam Cliffs on the Saturday of Boree Log. We’ll be climbing in the Mossy Wall and Steep Wall areas, andd you can check out the climbs here. Grades range from easy through to hard, and we’ll be setting up top ropes so there’s something for everyone, no outdoor climbing experience necessary.
Depending on timing/weather/vibes, there may be time for a swim in the dam so pack your cossies!

This photo, taken on Boree Log 2 years ago, features my first time climbing in the Blue Mountains, my first time leading outdoors, and the first route I cleaned.
What to bring:
- Minimum 2L of water
- Food for the day
- Clothes appropriate for climbing (should be comfortable, allow unrestricted movement, and be alright if they get dirty/torn)
- Sunscreen
- Warm weather gear incase it gets cold
- Day backpack to carry your belongings
- Climbing harness
- Climbing helmet
- Climbing shoes
- Belay device (eg ATC) and locking carabiner
Items inย boldย can be borrowed on the day if you do not have your own. You DO NOT need to collect them from the gear cupboard prior to Boree Log.
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.
In your comment please let us know your climbing experience, if you have a car and how many people you can take, and how many bananas you think you could consume in one (1) minute.
Consider your response carefully as you may be asked to prove this on the trip.
If you have any questions feel free to contact Oscar or myself.
See you there!
Sophia and Oscar
