Picture this. It’s Sunday, 30th of March. You could be lying in bed, scrolling TikTok, or trying to convince yourself that today is the day you finally clean your room. OR you could be out climbing glorious Blue Mountains sandstone at Medlow Bath with us.

This trip is for beginner to intermediate climbers looking to get out on real rock. Medlow Bath has it all—solid sandstone, epic views, and a mix of single and multi-pitch routes to suit a range of skill levels. Expect heaps of face climbing, some cracks, and maybe even a sneaky roof or two if you’re feeling spicy.

What you need to join:
✔ You must have completed Rock Skills 1 (RS1). Equivalent climbing skills can be considered if you provide details when signing up.
✔ Some prior outdoor climbing experience is recommended but not essential.
✔ A willingness to send (or at least try).
