This trip is part of the BME. To attend, you need to also sign up for the main BME trip.
We are going to go climbing at Sublime Point. There are some great multi-pitch climbs, and plenty of single pitch climbs here, both sport and trad. Access to the crag is a fairly short walk. I am not going to provide any supervision on this trip!! Me, Lyle and Verity are going to climb sweet dreams . All climbing teams need to be self-sufficient. Anyone that signs up needs to be able to lead belay at the very least. If you are embarking on a multi-pitch route you should have a fair amount of experience climbing outdoors. If you are new to climbing multi-pitches and someone more experienced is taking you up a route, you should also know how to prussick (ascend the rope itself) just in case there is a hard section on the route that you are not able to climb. If you're leading a team up a route you need to know what you're doing and you need to make sure that others in the group know what they are doing(I'm not going to tell you what skills you need because you should know yourself!!)
You should treat your registration as provisional unless you are self-sufficient [able to lead and clean]. When signing up, please indicate what you intend to climb. If I don't know you, please give me a summary of your climbing experience ( can you lead sport or trad, and at what grades? can you clean? Can you second on trad? What grades can you second?). It would also be great if you could tell me if you are bringing your car along and if you can drive! I don't have a car so depending on how many people sign up, one or more of you will need to drive!
In addition to climbing gear, you should also bring food, water, warm clothing and a headtorch with spare batteries ( or have fresh batteries inside it...just make sure it will work and will keep working for hours in case of an emergency!!) .
Will leave campsite early in the morning (yet to decide actual time), drive to sublime point, climb and return after finishing climbing. May get back quite late as we will be doing multi-pitch climbing.
