SUNDAY BL – MEZZALUNA Beginner Sport Climbing

Hey everyone,

Elliott, Nic, and I are running a beginner sport climbing trip to Mezzaluna. This crag is one of my favourites as the views are spectacular and the routes are fun. You can even hear cows mooing in the distance! The grades on Mezzaluna range from 15 to 20.

We will drive from the campground to the crag, where we will set up top ropes for everyone to climb. No climbing experience is needed. If you are a confident lead climber/belayer, you’re also very welcome! We are also happy to teach people to lead if anyone is super keen. We will drive straight back to Sydney afterwards.

We’ll be heading directly from camp in the morning, so most of the gear you need will be provided – you don’t need to hire anything from the gear cupboard beforehand. If you have your own gear, please bring it with you! For this trip, you’ll need:

Mandatory:

• Climbing gear: 
  • *Harness
  • *Helmet
  • *Locking carabiner attached to an ATC

• For clothing:
  • Sport clothes. It can get quite hot or quite chilly, so be prepared for both.

• For eating: 
  • At least 2L of water
  • Lunch
  • Snacks

• Other:
  • Sunscreen
  • Medications (asthma puffer etc.)

Optional:

• Chalk
• *Climbing shoes (Highly recommended! – the club only has a few to go around to borrow on the day)

(* means the club will provide this on the day)

Please mention in the comments:

• Your climbing experience
• If you can drive
• Your level of stoke (only cool kids are allowed)
• How many chocolates you will share with me

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.

Get keen!
