SUNDAY BL – MOUNT PIDDINGTON Beginner Trad climbing

Hey everyone,

Pat, Gabe and I (Amelia K) will be leading a trad climbing trip to Piddo, in the blue mountains. This is a beginner friendly crag (see the crag page here), great if you are learning traditional climbing (placing your own protection into the wall instead of bolts) for the first time, or you’re an experienced climber keen to hang out at this awesome crag with awesome people 🙂

We will leave early on Sunday morning from Cathedral of Ferns campground and drive straight back to Sydney in the evening, so please let us know if you have a car and where you will be driving to afterwards.

We can supply all technical gear (if you don’t have your own) such as helmets, harnesses, climbing shoes and belay devices etc. on the day, however YOU need to bring:

• At least 2L water
• Food + snacks for the day
• Sunscreen
• Jumper/jacket (Blue mountains can get very cold)
• Comfy shoes, hat, backpack etc for short hike in
• Chalk (optional)

Please note: 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, we may need to alter the trip accordingly.

If you’re keen to sign up, please include in your comment your experience, what you want out of the day, whether you have a car and where you’ll be heading on Sunday evening, and tell us your favourite place to climb 🙂 (just so we know you’ve read all this info).

Feel free to message Pat or I if you have any questions.

Many thanks,

Amelia K
