Archived trip from old website run by rraehodgson
**Due to a low number of sign ups and not enough leading experience we have had a slight change of plans and will now be joining with Phill's trip and donning fake beards to climb at Sloth Area, Thompson's point**
Jin had a wonderful idea of having a women's only climbing trip, we worked out a weekend that would suit and voila!
So we will be heading to Mittagong (Mt Alexandra) for a climbing day trip. It's about a 2 hour drive away and has some really nice climbs at a wide range of grades with a short walk in.
We will meet at 7:45 in the car park by the tennis courts at ANU with the aim to leave at 8. We'll probably stop for a coffee/toilet break in Mittagong before heading up to the rock. Then should be back in Canberra by about 8 depending on what time we pack up.
You will need to bring all your own personal climbing gear: harness, shoes, helmet, carabiner, belay device. I will hires ropes and all the other gear from the club.
Also bring suitable clothing and shoes, food and water for the day, sunscreen, hat and insect repellant.
The number of sign ups will be limited by cars and drivers. If you are happy to bring your car and drive please let me know and I'll adjust the numbers accordingly.
This trip is aimed at people who have climbed outdoors before at least once and are confident belayers. We may have room for one or two beginners, please contact me before signing up. If you have been on one of Kate's lead climbing trips you will get a chance to keep practicing your skills. If I don't already know you please let me know a bit about your climbing experience when you sign up. Sorry no boys allowed!
This will be my last trip with the club as I am moving to Melbourne so looking forward to a great day of climbing!
Leave ANU SRA at 8am, drive to Thompson's Point climb for the day and return to Canberra around 8pm
