INTERMEDIATE Climbing Weekend!  Let's touch some real rock in the beautiful Blue Mountains! The aim of this trip is to get everyone comfortable with lead climbing. If you don't know what that means, this may not be the trip for you! (Beginner trip incoming...) With this being an intermediate trip we want all our attendees to have either climbed outdoors or lead climbed in a gym previously so as to get the most out of the weekend. All the gear you need to get on the wall is included in your ticket price, but feel free to use any of your own.   Gear that can be borrowed from the club: Climbing helmet Climbing harness Climbing shoes Safety sling Belay device and carabiners Tent Sleeping bag Sleeping mat   Gear you'll need to bring: Cutlery, bowl, plate, cup, etc LOTS of warm layers (Blue Mountains in winter are COLD) Raincoat Sturdy walking/running shoes Breakfast (Sunday) Lunch (Saturday and Sunday) Snacks Beverages of choice for around the campfire!   We'll be carpooling from the gear shed to Mount York Campground early on Saturday morning, climbing all weekend and returning to the shed Sunday night.  Any questions just flick me a message, - Captain Phil

Hey everyone! We have this NEW and exciting event coming up! We are collaborating with Alex, principal Osteopath, at The Movement Improvement Clinic, to deliver a workshop where NUMC members can learn some calisthenics and exercises to improve climbing strength and agility. Alex is a movement-focused, neurodiverse Osteo who is keen to work with any person to help improve their health and wellbeing in a holistic, intentional approach. Before his injury, he dabbled in climbing, and currently runs some calisthenics classes, so this workshop is in great hands!! This workshop will run for 2 hours; 5pm-7pm on Wednesday 3rd June. If you are itching to do ANYTHING climbing related or need a healthy break from study, make sure you come along to this workshop! It will be held at The Forum, room TBA. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to flick me a message on Instagram or Facebook! - Laila Machin
