THIS IS AN EOI:

Please note that signing up for this event is an expression of interest only and does not a guarantee that you'll be able to come on this trip. Pre-booking the campsite is essential, so we will be creating a FB group chat, and payment will be arranged before the date. All individuals regardless of climbing experience are welcome! (Preference for individuals with prior climbing experience, outdoors or indoors, or know how to spot. Everyone MUST help with spotting after a lesson at the start). Bouldering can be dangerous, so please know your limits/come on this trip with the mindset of climbing safely.

Piority will be given to individuals with cars who are willing to help with transporting people and gear, as well as those with tents. Drivers must be available for the whole expected duration of the trip to help with transport back. You will work out the fuel costs between your carpool. Finalised attendee count is dependent on number of cars and campsites available. Please note you may need to share camping gear with others i.e. staying in the same tent as campsite has limited space. 

If you wish to join for just 1 of either day (and not camp overnight), please message one of us to discuss.
