Archived trip from old website run by rraehodgson
****Trip was opened up to more people but almost full again now. If anyone is able to bring a rope that would be great, cheers****
The climbing at Mt Alexandra (Mittagong) is great, with something for everyone and a great range of grades. You can check it out at the The Crag here: http://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/mt-alexandra.
We will meet in the carpark by the tennis courts just down from the SRA at ANU at 7:50 to leave by 8. It's about a 2 hour drive up there so this should give us lots of time for climbing. We'll aim to get back to Canberra by around 8pm.
You will need all your own personal climbing gear (harness, shoes, helmet, locking carabiner, and belay device - autolocking preferred), food and water for the day, hat, sunscreen, insect repellant, and some warm clothes.
A helmet is essential, if you do not have one you will not be able to come on the trip. You can hire climbing gear at the gear store (http://anumc.org.au/gear-store).
If you have your own rope and are happy to bring it along, please let me know as we are a bit short of club ropes at the moment with other trips being on.
Please let me know your climbing experience when you sign up. I can take one or two beginners but it is preferable if you have climbed outdoors at least once before. I'm happy to go over outdoor climbing techniques if you need a refresher.
If anyone else is willing to drive please let me know and I can increase the number of sign ups allowed.
There won't be a pretrip, I will keep in touch via email.
See you soon!
Drive to Mittagong, climb for the day and return to Canberra by 8pm.
