Beginner Climbing

Hi NUMCies!

***EDIT this event will now be held at pulse climbing gym, see facebook for more information ***

Welcome to the Newcastle University Mountaineering Club! To start the year off we have our first Beginner Climbing trip, which will take place on Sunday 4th of March. We'll be climbing at Point Clare, down towards Central Coast. This crag has a good mix of grades, from relatively easy to fiendishly difficult, and is less than an hour down the coast. On this trip you will learn how to tie in to a top rope system, and how to safely belay your climbing partner while they have a crack at climbing some sandstone! The best views are at the top, so it's well worth the climb!

To join this trip you have to A) be a member of the club, and B) have purchased a ticket for the event, which pays for fuel and some gear maintainence. 

This trip caters to all skill levels, we supply all the technical equipment and the training you need!

What To Bring:

- Food and Water for a day, a hat and sunscreen, sturdy shoes, hair ties for anyone with long hair.

Our trip leaders will provide transportation, which is included in your ticket price.

Please be at the gear store, located near the cul-de-sac around the back of the Forum gym ("Newcastle University Mountaineering Club" on Google maps) at 8:45 to make sure everyone has the correct gear.

Follow this link for a video from a previous beginner trip to Morna Point, where we hope to run a second trip when the conditions are on our side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oqExv0i6vo

Get keen, I'll see you all there!
