SATURDAY BL – DAM CLIFFS Sport Climbing [Beginner]

Hey everyone,

Oscar and I (Tee), will be running a sport climbing trip to Dam Cliffs on the Saturday of Boree Log. We will leave from the campground in the morning. Grades at Dam Cliffs ranges from easy to hard, but we will set up top ropes, so no outdoor climbing experience is required.

Bring your cozzies, as there are opportunities for a swim in the dam.

What to bring:

• Climbing Gear
  • Harness*
  • Helmet*
  • ATC*
  • Locking Carabiner*
  • Climbing Shoes*
  • Chalk Bag (recommended but not needed)
• To consume
  • At least 2L of water
  • Food and snacks
• Clothing
  • Sport clothes – allows for movement and may get dirty/worn
  • Jacket – It can get hot or cold or rainy so be prepared.
  • Enclosed shoes – for approach and belaying
  • Cozzies and towel
• Other
  • Sunscreen
  • Medicine (if you need them i.e. asthma puffer, epipen etc…)

NOTE: For Boree Log, UNSWOC will be bringing the gear to the campsite. If you need to borrow gear, you can do so on the day of the trip. Items marked with * can be provided by the club.

If you have any questions reach out to me (Tee) or Oscar

In the comments, please let me know of your climbing experience, if you have a car – if so how many people can you take, and if you had to be a number from 1-100, what number would you be and justify your answer.

“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”
