Club Nights at Kangaroo Point

posted Jan 2, 2012 2:25 AM by BRC Committee

Now we "sort of" have lighting we hope to see you all at club nights soon. It is still Tuesday nights. Time to start on that climbing fitness so you are ready for the 2012 climbing season and club trips :). 
It may still pay to bring a head torch for some climbs.

Arapiles Sept. 2011

posted Oct 2, 2011 6:02 AM by BRC Committee   [ updated Oct 2, 2011 6:10 AM ]

Once again the climbing was great at Arapiles. A fantastic time with a great bunch of people. Arapiles left the first timers drooling and wanting more asap. They were already organising what they were going to do on the next trip.
Well done to club el presidento Marty, for the huge bag of onsight 3 star classic leads. If he stayed any longer he'd have run out of climbs.
Everyone had their highlights. I'm sure there'll be a couple of articles penned. We should have a great photo album up soon, to make those of you who couldn't make it jealous.
For any one climbing at Arapiles soon , remember though that Brolga is in quarantine after Nigel's barefoot ascent, and don't get spooked by the "wildlife" hahaha in Thunder Crack.
Bring on the next Arapiles trip
