Hello Fellow UTS OAC Adventurers!
Megan, Niamh, and I will be running a Rock Skills 1 at Dural on Sunday, 10 March. 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.
Location: Dural Crag, 86-84 Quarry Rd, about 40 min drive from the UTS.
Date: Sun 10th March
Time: 09:30 – 3:30 pm
The Crag: https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/north-west/area/663606603
What to Expect:
A theory session, followed by several top-rope climbs. We’ll cover:
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
When registering, please include a brief note about your prior climbing experience and what is your favourite joke. Failure to do so may impact being selected for this trip, so jot that info down!
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.
Looking forward to seeing ya sleepy heads at the crag.
