However please read all text before signing up!!\nThis trip is specifically for women and gender queer club me mbers to get psyched about climbing and the outdoors in a safe\, supportiv e and inclusive environment.\nIt was amazing to see so many womxn leading and participating in trips at Boree Log over the weekend. The continued pr esence of womxn and non-binary club members\, trip leaders\, exec\, etc. i s incredibly important to both UNSWOC and the wider outdoors community. Ru nning trips like this allows the club to foster womxn's participation and skills\, while providing womxn and non-binary club members an opportunity to form supportive and empowering friendships.\nI cannot more strongly rec ommend signing up for this trip - the womxn I've met in UNSWOC are the coo lest\, kindest and most badass womxn I know!\nWe will most likely be headi ng to the Sunbath area of Medlow Bath crag which is a great beginner area with plenty of route options. It will suit anyone looking to go climb outd oors for the first time\, or anyone else keen to develop their skills on s ome lovely climbs. We will set up top ropes for everybody to climb\, but a lso if anyone is keen to learn to lead climb\, there are plenty of friendl ier routes to get you started!\nHere is some more info on the crag: https ://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/blue-mountains/medlow-bath/area/1 3143367\n\n\n\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_14768" align="alignleft" width= "768"] Cindy &\; Caity at the top of Sweet Dreams[/caption]\n\n\n\n\n[c aption id="attachment_14769" align="alignleft" width="750"] Sammy\, Xab an d Sarah at Nowra[/caption]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThings to bring:\n\n Ha rness*\n Helmet*\n Climbing shoes*\n ATC with a carabiner*\n Safety sl ing*\n Lunch\, snacks\n At least 2L Water\n Hat\, sunscreen\n Warm clo thes (it can still get real frosty in the mountains!)\n Medications if yo u need them (asthma puffer etc.)\n Any sport climbing gear you may own\n\ n*Gear can be borrowed from the gear cupboard.
