CANCELLED – Saturday Sport Climbing (weather permitting)

Greta and I (Stephen) are leading a SPORT CLIMBING day trip this SATURDAY 14th March to the Blue Mountains. Specific location to be announced, but maybe Medlow Bath or Corroboree Walls. At the moment there’s a 50% chance of some rain on Saturday so we’re making this trip optimistically, and will make the decision to go ahead or not closer to the weekend.

• We’ll be up in the mountains already so the plan is to meet at the crag around 10 am (we should be able to give lifts for 1 or 2 people from a train station if you don’t have a car). Let us know in the comments whether you’ve got a car and are able to give lifts from Sydney.
• The trip will be beginner friendly but you’ll get more out of the day if you’ve been doing some (semi) regular climbing recently! Please let us know your climbing experience in the comments.
• The gear: Bring your own gear OR go visit the gear guys at the gear cupboard (4-5 pm Thu & Fri at UNSW, don’t forget a cash deposit) and grab yourself a:
  • Helmet
  • Harness
  • Locking carabiner + belay device (ATC)
  • Climbing shoes
  • Chalk bag if you like

What else to bring:

• • • Food and water for the day (at least 2 L)
    • Personal meds if needed
    • Appropriate clothing for climbing and a jacket in case it gets cold/wet
    • A decent size backpack to fit all the climbing gear
    • Enclosed shoes for the approach
    • Sunscreen
    • Phone full of battery
    • Petrol money for the driver/opal card for the train
    • Enthusiasm to climb!

Any questions, message me (Stephen Roche) on Facebook or find me this Thursday at The Ledge 🙂

Thanks to Maria for the trip template!!
