Beginner Friendly and Sport Climbing (ROC)

To join this trip, visit http://roc.org.au/trips/trip-info/?trip_id=4716 and click 'Join trip' at the bottom of that page.

Last chance to get a Mt Macedon trip in before the perma-mist sets in again until summer!
As per tradition we will meet at the Mt Macedon Trading Post for a quick coffee then head up to the crag. There will be top ropes set up for the beginners and hopefully a few people sport climbing as well. I will organise a carpool to get everyone there efficiently.
You will need to bring:

• Climbing helmet
• Climbing harness
• Climbing shoes
• Lunch, snacks and drinking water
• Warm clothes (don't be deceived by the forecast, it gets cold up there
• Sun protection
  This trip will be dependent on enough anchor setters joining to help out.
  See you all there!
