This trip will be an introduction to sports climbing for intermediate climbers with emphasis on all the necessary skills required to confidentially climb outdoors. Some climbing experience is required.

Plan:

Leave ANU sport at 8am on Sunday, drive 2 hrs to Mittagong and climb until mid afternoon. The approach is very friendly  Aim to be back at ANU sport late afternoon/early evening before it gets too cold
