[FULL] SATURDAY BL – Trad Climbing at Mt Boyce

Hey folks,

Margot and I (Pat) will be leading a trad climbing trip to Mt Boyce on Saturday of Boree Log. We’ll be climbing around Firebug Wall and Walk-Down Gully, which have some good easy trad routes to learn on: www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/blue-mountains/mt-boyce.

This trip is beginner friendly, though if you have lead climbing and lead belaying experience you’ll get more out of it. We’ll be happy to teach skills like placing trad gear, setting anchors, cleaning anchors, crack climbing, and probably anything else that comes to mind.

You’ll need:

• Harness *
• Helmet *
• ATC + locking carabiner *
• Climbing shoes *
• Food (lunch + snacks) and at least 2L water
• Backpack
• Suitable shoes for hiking in
• Sunscreen

* These items can be borrowed from the gear trailer in the morning, but if you have your own please bring them!!

You must be approved to the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. If you get rejected then you can 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.

If you’re keen to come along, sign up and leave a comment telling us your climbing experience, whether you have a car (and how many spare seats), and any skills you’d like to learn on the trip. If you’ve got any questions feel free to message Margot or myself!

Get keen!
