Meeting: Tue, 19 Aug 2014, 7:00 pm


Requirements: This trip is open to anybody. Come along, work a bit and try climbing on Sunday.

Cliffcare are organizing some working bees to finally repair the tracks and make the Northern Grampians climbing area's accesible again after last year's fires. 

This includes the toproping and beginners eldorado Summerday Valley and the iconic Taipan wall in the Stapylton amphitheatre. 

Let's lend a hand and be a part of the work to re-open those areas! Also, it's a great opportunity to combine some outdoor's work/exercise in a beautiful surrounding with some climbing on Sunday. 

The following days are planned by Cliffcare (see also http://cliffcare.org.au/ for more info): 

Wed 20th August  – Tree risk and vegetation clearing works at Stapylton Amphitheatre, Summerday Valley and Andersons. Working with David, our chainsaw guy, this day requires only a couple of extra workers.
 
Thursday 21st August – Stapylton Ampitheatre. Grey/ Green Walls Rehab track works and belay area delineation.  Also any required works around the Taipan area. Possible start on some works in the Summerday Valley/Bark Wall area. Enough people for two or more groups would be good.
 
Saturday 23rd August – Bark Wall (Summerday Valley area) rock works.  Also other veg clearing, abseil area delineation works. Enough people for two groups would be beneficial. 
 

Some food and beverages will be supplied on the working day. 

I am planning this trip at the moment only for the Saturday working day. However, if anybody is interested in going up early, I'm happy to help you coordinate car groups, so come to the trip meeting as well. Also coordinate with us so that we can let Tracey from Cliffcare know what numbers she can expect to attend the working bees. 

Sunday we will go climbing somewhere in the Central Grampians. The area will depend on ability and wishes of trip attendees. We will be happy to set up topropes and/or do some leading practice if people are interested. 

We will drive up Friday night, camp both nights (location TBD), work Saturday with Cliffcare from 9:30am onwards and climb on Sunday.
