Additionally we all need to make sure we continue to: Sanitise our hands between climbs Sanitise carabiners at every change over Do not share personal equipment Cough/sneeze into elbows or preferably a tissue instead of on your hands followed by washing/sanitising the coughed on area immediately Keep 1.5m away from each other Comply with limits to how many people in each area (20 in boulder area, 8 upstairs, etc) - these are all labelled Comply with staff instructions - if you do not you will be asked to leave the gym and possibly the club, this is a serious matter with serious consequences for the safety of individuals, the accountability of the club and Pulse I look forward to seeing 59 other people there, stay safe, have fun and climb well!

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 fundamnetal skills for safe rock climbing as well as plenty of time on the wall. We'll be staying a Mount York campground Saturday night. 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) If you have any questions feel free to contact me via Facebook messenger or email: chriskirkman01@gmail.com

Get keen for an adrenalin-filled,stunningly gorgeous weekend exploring the Blue Mountains' best canyons! Subject to work and uni commitments, the vague plan is to head off from the gearshed around 5pm, arriving at the campsite about 8:30, but carpooling and travel arrangements can be sorted closer to the time. We will be camping at Cathedral Reserve near Mount Wilson Friday and Saturday night before heading back to Newcastle on Sunday evening. Weather dependent, Saturday will be a day of rockhopping and abseiling down some of the best and most beautiful canyons the Blue Mountains has to offer, including Grand, Serendipity, and Waterdragon. It will be a big day including swimming, several kilometers of hiking, and some steep terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness and confident swimming ability are both essential! Sunday will be similar, where we roll out of our tents to go canyoning again before heading back to Newy. All camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats etc.) can be hired from the gearstore, in addition to wetsuits, backpacks and drybags. The club will also provide helmets, harnesses and everything you need to stay safe in a canyon! We will be stopping for dinner on the road Friday night on the way to the Bluies, and a delicious, hearty club meal will be provided Saturday night. You will be responsible for providing your own breakfast, lunch, and snacks for Saturday and Sunday (ideally things which are individually wrapped and/or you won't mind eating after they've gone soggy courtesy of a swim in a canyon!) Please keep in mind you will need to make it to the shed on the Tuesday or Wednesday night prior to this trip to organise a wetsuit, and get on those tickets fast! It's first in best dressed and they will go quick! Get keen for an incredible weekend!

Wanting to make friends and get to know some of the NUMC gals in a low pressure environment? Have ideas for the club you want to share? This is the trip for you! Grab yourself a FREE ticket and come along! We will meet at the Yuelarbah carpark in our very own Glenrock State Conservation area at 8:00am (lifts from the uni or nearby can be arranged if necessary) and follow the Yuelarbah track out to Burwood beach. From there, weather and condition dependent, we will either retrace our footsteps, or continue on to Hickson St Lookout before heading back to the car/s.

There will be good company, lots of conversations to be had, and some stunning bush as the backdrop for it all. This isn't a long walk and we should be back by lunchtime, however a reasonable level of fitness is recommended.
