Archived trip from old website run by bonnie
We are having a girls' climbing day at Nerriga! There will be grades for everyone from about 13 to low 20s. The climbs are bolted sandstone, and mostly slabby/crimpy. It'll be a nice place to practice leading for anyone who wants to build confidence. We'll warm up at Wig and Pen, then head to Late Shift or Austin Powers. The crag guide is at: http://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/nerriga
Participants are invited to dress girly, and priority on the trip will be given to women (if this offends you, come talk to me). Others are also welcome but are required to make a decent effort to appear feminine - think skirts, tutus, dresses, tiaras, ribbons, ...
This trip is open to those who have climbed and belayed outdoors before. If I haven't climbed with you please let me know your level of experience including grades you're happy to lead. Spots on the trip will depend on having enough experienced climbers and a majority of female climbers; as such signing up does not automatically guarantee a place. I'm currently limiting the size to one car, but may consider adding more spaces if more experienced people join up.
EDIT: I've allowed more sign up spots on this page than are currently available to allow participants to express interest in the trip - please note that electronic sign up *does not* guarantee a spot on the trip. I will send out an email during the week before the trip to confirm details.
You will need at a minimum:
- personal climbing gear including harness, shoes, helmet (compulsory), chalk, belay device (autolocking if you have one, but I will also hire the club's Megajuls)
- cash for petrol (please bring change if possible)
- sunscreen, insect repellent, food, lots of water, approach shoes
There will be no pretrip. Meet outside the SRA on Sunday at 7:50am to leave at 8am and return by around 8pm.
***When signing up please include your phone number, whether you can drive, whether you can bring a rope/draws, and your level of experience (if I don't know you). If you don't do this I will assume you haven't read the trip description and remove you from the trip.***
Climb at Wig and Pen then wander past Austin Powers possibly to Late Shift Ledge. Climb until tired or dark.
