Beginner Climbing - Blue Mountains

Are you interested in climbing but never given it a go? Are you tired of greasy plastic holds at the gym? This the the perfect introductory trip to try outdoor climbing, learn some new skills, meet new people and have fun. No prior climbing experience is needed.

The plan is to leave at the Gear shed (behind the Forum) Saturday morning and head down to Mount York on Darug Country. Saturday will be spent learning fundamental skills for safe rock climbing as well as plenty of time on the wall. We'll be staying at Mount York campground Saturday night, Blue Mountains gets real chilly at night in Winter so make sure you've got warm stuff. Then on Sunday we'll climb in some different areas and continue to build climbing skills, before heading back to Newcastle Sunday evening.

What to bring:

• Food (Dinner will be provided Saturday night. You'll need to bring your own food for breakfast, lunches, and snacks. Don't underestimate how hungry you might get.)
• Water (Make sure you can carry enough water for the day, about 2L or so)
• Sun protection (This is very necessary as we'll be in the sun a lot)
• Clothes for two days (The Blue Mountains can get suprisingly cold)
• Camping gear (The club has camping gear available, however this is limited so please bring your own if you can)
