This trip is for people new to outdoor climbing who want to get outside and give it a go. Your $12 ticket covers transport from the gearstore, all climbing equipment, and instruction. No previous climbing experience necessary. The walk in is about 15 minutes of sand track and ocean rock. There is a downclimb to enter and crag and some rock hopping, you have to be reasonable sure footed. Here is a video from last year's trip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oqExv0i6voPictures of the walk in have been sent out in an email and posted on the facebook group. The downclimb into the climbing area is quite exposed, if you are not comfortable with this we will give you a full refund, alternatively contact me to discuss.Please fill out the medical info form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZUHFqHA1XaWd_ersSDtovPvj0LZGtbh8fTZ-TBv10woCx4A/viewformYou need to bring normal going outside stuff...Enclosed shoes |Lunch (Sandwiches, musli bars etc) | Water (2L) | Layered clothing, exercise wear for climbing, something warm for sitting | Raincoat | Sunscreen | Hat | Camera (bring a strap) | Hairband if you have long hair Leave jewellery / watches / nice things at home or in your bag.I'll have sent out an email asking for relevant medical information.
