climbing

Are you tired of climbing plastic in the gym? Do you want to climb real rock? Well, this is the trip for you.

We are going to teach you all you need to know to climb outdoors. This trip is best for people with some indoor climbing skills wanting to transition to outdoors 🙂 It’s a prerequisite for future outdoor club climbing trips. It is great timing so you can get the opportunity to sign up for all of the cool Megafest climbing trips!

Location: Bangor West, near Menai, less than an hour’s drive south of UTS
Date: Sat 29th Nov
Time: 09:30 – 3:30pm

We will teach:
– Leave No Trace principles in climbing
– Understanding climbing equipment and how to use it
– Figure 8 knot
– Personal safety near cliffs
– Pre-climb safety checks
– Communication between climber and belayer
– Safe belaying techniques

Registration:
Let us know in the sign-up information about your climbing experience e.g.: “Climb once a week at the ledge for two months, climbed a tree once while running from a drop bear”. Failure to do so may impact being selected for this trip, so jot that info down!

Equipment:
An email will be sent out to accepted participants with more info on the above. The club can supply all gear except climbing shoes. While it’s not required to have climbing shoes, we do recommend them to help you grip the rock and climb with better technique.

See you at the crag,

Cheers,
Serena
