Ever wanted to spend a day hanging out by the river, suspended off a cliff, desperately trying to remember which foot you just used? Us too. That’s why we’re heading to Thompsons Point on Sunday, 29th June, and you should absolutely come.
Thompsons (aka Sport Climbing Heaven: Nowra Edition) is a riverside crag stacked with friendly grades, solid bolts, comfy ledges, and views so good they almost distract you from the pump. Whether you’re a newer climber keen to get your first taste of outdoor routes or someone looking to lap classics like Goshen and Witches, this spot has something for you.
Who’s this trip for?
– Climbers who have completed Rock Skills 1 (RS1)
– Or those with equivalent experience—just let us know when you sign up
– Anyone psyched to climb all day and soak in the best of Nowra’s vertical sandstone offerings
What to bring climbing:
(Asterisk = club can supply. Bring your own gear if you’ve got it—it’s good practice for minifest.)
Harness*
Helmet*
Belay device*
Rock climbing shoes (club cannot provide these)
2L water minimum
Lunch/snacks (we’re not picnicking, but we also kind of are)
Sun protection (cap under helmet = pro move)
Personal medication
Unshakable psych
Transport:
Carpooling will be organised—please let us know if you can drive or need a lift.
When you sign up:
Tell us about your climbing experience—blank “exercise and skills” boxes will be REJECTED harder than your last redpoint attempt.
Can’t wait to hit the stone with you all!
Billy & Nadiah & Lucas
