On a sunny Sunday morning, while the Sydneysiders were busy running on the Harbour Bridge, 11 SURMC members went to Medlow Bath for a beautiful day of climbing.

The walk in turned out to be almost as long as the Sydney marathon: we walked, and then got lost. Then walked back. And got lost again. Lucky Dave Kirk was there to find a way to the climbs! He definitely deserves the title of MVP for this trip.

After this good warm up, we set up a bunch of top-rope climbs from grade 14 to 20. Everybody also had a chance to lead, and everybody did a very good job!

Rohan on a 15.

Alex on a 15, Ida on a 17 and Dave on a 20.

Lyndall on lead, happy

A special mention to Alex who successfully led a pretty long, 3 stars climb, and also to Lyndall who experienced her first outdoors climb.

John on 'The Deadly Hammock', grade 26.

Eager for the pub.

We headed back to Sydney after a quick dinner in Katoomba.

In spite of a late start and some strong wind, it was a really good day of climbing. I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you guys!
