Off the back of the ACA training weekend recently let's practice some canyon skills.  This is intended for those who can already set up and manage canyon anchors, we'll run another trip in future for those who are looking to move forward from a more basic level.   The day will be out at Cranky Corner Sunday the 3rd. Text me if you need gear, we'll obviously be bringing various bits of club gear.   We'll try and go over both the skills and the situations that they are best used for. An indication of some skills is: - Setting handlines - Creating new anchors (selecting natural anchors, meat anchors, considerations of the line)  - Guided rappels, ziplining bags, ascending ropes and ziplines - Open vs closed system, bleeding the line - Passing a knot through a releasable anchor - Protecting your final abseiler (releasable abseils, rope bag management) - Ascending ropes   Captain Phil

Climbing outdoors can be intimidating, especially as climbing can be such a male dominated activity. That's why we've organised a beginner outdoor climbing weekend for our gals and gender diverse pals (sorry - no boiz allowed). We're heading out to the Blue Mountains for a weekend of touching rock, learning new skills and vibing with awesome people. This trip caters to all skill levels. Outdoor experience is preferred but not required. If you are confident and experienced outdoors, we will facilitate opportunities to lead climb so you can also extend your skills! We supply all the technical equipment and the training you need! What To Bring: - Food - dinner will be provided Friday and Saturday night. You'll need to bring your own food for breakfasts, lunches and snacks. - Water - make sure you can carry at least 2L. - Tent, mat and sleeping bag (these can be borrowed pending availability) - Hat, sunscreen and sun safe clothes - Clothes for 2 adventure days - NOTE Blue Mountains get surprisingly cold overnight. Be prepared for this. Also bring swimmers - there may be a chance to swim on Sunday afternoon after climbing. - Sturdy shoes for the walk in - Hair ties for anyone with long hair.  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). We will aim to leave on Friday morning to maximise our time in the mountains. If you cannot leave until Friday night, we may be able to arrange a car to leave later in the day PENDING DRIVER AVAILABILITY. Drivers will be compensated by the club for their fuel.  If you have any conditions that might impact your ability to participate, or if you have any questions you can contact me - Hanna Marie on Facebook, call/text me on 0491120772 or email me at hannaferguson95@hotmail.com. Hope to see you beautiful humans there!

Want to learn how to plan and run club trips? Have Ideas for a club trip that you'd love to make a reality? Need help finishing off a trip you've started planning? Learn everything you need and get a free dinner shouted by the club too! Our trips usually have a trip organiser (who plans where we go, what we do and who the instructors are) and a trip leader (who runs the trip on the day, makes sure no one dies and everyone gets instruction). Anyone can be a trip organiser, no prior knowledge needed and it's not even that hard!  If you're a competent climber, canyoner, caver, kayaker, hiker, mountain biker, orienteer or any other adventure sport afficionado feel free to come along and learn about what is involved as a trip leader too! Bring along a laptop for planning trips on, plenty of ideas and an empty stomach. We will put on a BBQ for attendees. The evening will start from 6pm at the gear shed around the back of the forum https://goo.gl/maps/fTjRbWFBYzw45ZEn7 Without volunteers our trips do not run, so if you have benefited from club trips in the past we'd love it if you considered passing the love along by organising/running a trip! If you wanna get involved in trip planning digitally then jump on our trip planning discord!! Join Here!!!
