Archived trip from old website run by Timothy Hirsch

UPDATE: All beginner slots are taken! Please don't sign up if you can't tie in/lead belay without supervision.

Hi All,

I'm planning on climbing at Lost Vegas (https://thecrag.com/climbing/australia/new-south-wales-and-act/australian-capital-territory/area/391992096) next Sunday the 12th (end of Week 9). Vegas is a sport crag, with a couple 15-17 slabs for beginners but the vast majority of routes being grade 19+ (including an awesome grade 19 chimney :D). Current plan is to head out at 8am from ANU Sport and return between 6-7pm.

Climbers should bring their own helmet, harness, shoes and belay device w/ locking carabiner. I will bring ropes, draws and possibly some trad gear for practicing on the crack routes. Note it's a 40 minute hike to the cliffs from the car.

Spots are limited by the number of drivers who sign up, so if you can bring a car it'd be much appreciated. If I've not climbed with you before please describe your experience when you sign up, if you don't I'll cancel the registration. 1-2 beginners should be fine for the trip, but it will depend on the total number of experienced climbers coming.

There won't be a pre-trip meeting, any extra details will be ironed out over Facebook chat.
