2nd UPDATE: Sunday trip has been canceled due to worsening conditions.
UPDATE: Due to rain overnight, we will be doing two day trips: One at Gulp Rd - Wingello on Saturday, and the other at Mt Coree on Sunday.
A weekend of climbing at Wingello, 1.5 hours away from Canberra. There are lots of easy and moderate routes, suitable for newish outdoor climbers.

You will need (can be hired from gear store):
* Helmet
* Climbing harness
* Climbing shoes
* Belay device and locking carabiner
* Slings if you have any
Shared gear (ropes and draws) will be provided.
General stuff:
* Food for 2 days
* Camping gear
We'll be camping at the (free) Wingello State Forest campsite, see http://www.findacamp.com.au/camp-site.php?camp=409 There's a toilet and water. Day trippers are also welcome and I'll even try work out transport for you. There's also good mountain biking in the area, but this will not be part of the official club trip.
You will need to have camped before. Beginner climbers are welcome to sign up, but you need to have belayed in some form before (e.g. you have a belay pass from some climbing gym). Beginner numbers are dependent on the number of experienced sign ups, so signing up is no guarantee of going on the trip. If I haven't climbed with you before, please let me know what experience you have. If you don't do this, I will automatically cancel your registration. There will be no pre-trip. Contact me if you have any questions. I will be at the gear store on Thursday.
Cancelled if rain or heatwave forecast.
Climb at Wingello - Gulp Rd for two days.
