Organisers: Colan Balkwill, Béatrice Desy

Hey y'all we're heading to Kawakawa Bay in Lake Taupo to touch some rock this weekend!  You need to have experience with top roping. Lead experience is recommended. It is absolutely required that you know how to conduct yourself safely when climbing outdoors. Unless you are willing to pay for a boat, the crag is a 2-3 hour easy walk from the parking lot to a beautiful bush camp. You could also ride a bike as its a cycle trail.

The club will provide most climbing gear, but you will likely need to bring your own shoes (and harness if you want to lead climb). The rest of the kit you will need is basic overnight hiking/camping gear. The weekend looks dry but cold, so bring an extra down jacket and some warm socks! 

Fuel costs will be $50-70ish. Food is whatever you want to spend, we can chat about doing group dinners:) Camping is free.

We'll leave as early as we can on Thursday afternoon (~4pm), camp the night on the road somewhere and walk in to the crag on Friday.morning.

Let me know what gear you will need on the sign up form. Any questions text 0223288564:)

TBD
