Leaders: Josh H
Standard: app/trips.standards.Intermediate if climbing.
Meeting: Tue, 8 May 2012, 7:19 pm


Requirements: All welcome, although you will need to at least know how to lead belay if you wish to climb.

Wear closed toe shoes while working. Bring water.

Spend the morning helping VCC Cliffcare move rocks so that a retaining wall can be built at Urinal Wall, and the afternoon climbing at one of the You Yangs' crags.

Tasks will involve collecting local rock from the general area, and clearing the site for stonework. A stonemason will be constructing the actual wall.

In the afternoon, do some climbing in the You Yangs, perhaps at Gravel Pit Tor or Royalty Walls, although if you are independent, you are welcome to go to any of the other lesser climbed areas. Climbs at the You Yangs are mostly bolted, with a few mixed and trad climbs.

If you are not a climber, you are still welcome to come along and help, and can perhaps go for a walk in the afternoon. The You Yangs is also a mountain bike destination, however if you choose to do this, it will need to be organised independently and will not be part of the MUMC trip.
