We’re planning to climb at Huskinson Homo and Hill Top hoods gully crag at Tianjara (hopefully for real this time haha!). The crag has a wide variety of grades to explore (9 to 26): https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/nowra/new-nowra-braidwood-road/area/13247437. We are interested in taking a couple of beginners along. This means we will stick to sport climbing.
Trip details
- Departing from ANU gym at 7:15am on Sunday 16 June.
- Arriving at crag 9:30am, with around 5 hours of climbing.
- Departing crag at 3pm, and back at ANU gym ~5pm.
- We suggest downloading an offline map, and The Crag’s guide (link above).
- Pre-trip meet up and gear hire on Wednesday 12 June, 6:30pm.
Signing up
We’re looking at around 8 people (2 cars - please let us know if you have a car and willing to drive). We expect participants to have outdoor climbing (and possibly some lead climbing) experience already. However, if you have no prior outdoor climbing experience (but comfortable with indoor top roping) - you’re welcome to sign up, we only have two spots available though. We insist that you come to the pre-trip meet up if you need gear hire, else due to limited number of spaces we may have to release your spot to someone else.
Things to bring
- at least 2L water
- Personal climbing gear: Helmet, harness, belay device, carabiner (at least 1), climbing shoes, PAS (Personal Anchor System/Sling), chalk bag.
- If you don’t own personal gear, please come to the pre-trip meet up to hire it.
- Other: Food (lunch/snacks), sunscreen, cap/hat, sunglasses, dress warm in layers such as light jackets
We’ll take care of the ropes, quickdraws and anchors :)
Change of plans
Please let us know in advance if your plans change, and we’ll also keep you posted if the weather changes or if we end up going to another location.
