To join this trip, visit http://roc.org.au/trips/trip-info/?trip_id=5407 and click 'Join trip' at the bottom of that page.

Camel's Hump climbing (Unless it's raining or silly cold)!! The trip will be suitable for people of all experience levels - beginners and those who've never done it before are more than welcome to come. Leaders and anchor setters please come join the fun too. We'll aim to arrive there between 9:00 - 9:30, and cars/drivers will be organised closer to the date. All going well, we'll be finishing up around 4pm, followed by a stop-over on the way home at the pub for dinner. Equipment needed: - Climbing Helmet (bike / snowboard helmets are not acceptable) - Harness - Climbing Shoes These will need to be organised the week before the trip (the gear room is fairly accommodating, and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays - see roc.org.au). The rest of the rock-climbing gear we need will be taken care of for you. Apart from your own climbing things, you'll also need: - lunch (to eat) - rain jacket (if it rains) - at least 2L water (VERY IMPORTANT) - snacks (to snack on) - Hiking shoes to walk in (that aren't climbing shoes) - a backpack to put everything in Costs: $10 for gear hire and petrol costs will be divided amongst passengers, but usually does not come to more than $20. Please bring cash on the day and don't forget the pub meal afterwards too. Let me know if you've got any questions.
See you all there!
