FULL – Womxn Sport Climbing to Medlow Bath – Saturday April 6

Hey Everyone!

This Saturday April 6th, Amelia K, Jemma and I (Amelia V) will be leading a beginner friendly sport climbing trip to Medlow Bath. It’s a great place for all skill and experience levels as there are a range of grades and styles. We will be setting up top ropes for most the climbs so no experience is required, only a keen attitude!

This trip is specifically for women and gender queer club members to get psyched about climbing and the outdoors in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. If you’re looking to get outdoors for the first time, build upon pre-existing skills or just get out and do some climbing with some other cool people, sign up! If you’d be keen to learn how to lead climb, please say so down in the comment.

The trip leaders will review all trip sign ups and you’ll receive an automated email if you get accepted or rejected for the trip. If you’ve been accepted, check Messenger as the trip leaders will make a group chat with all the participants. If you’re having issues signing up, check that you’re logged in and have a paid membership. In terms of transport, we will organise carpooling in the group chat. This will be an all day adventure, so that means we will depart early in the morning, and will return back to Sydney in the evening.

If you’d like to check out some of the routes, here is some more info on the crag: https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/blue-mountains/medlow-bath/area/13143367
