Update 4/6: In case you hadn’t already guessed this trip has had to be cancelled due to the rain. It may be rescheduled for a later date but I’ll let Emily and Sam update you on that. -Michael

UPDATE: 

Hi guys, we aren’t going to be camping overnight anymore as most people have expressed that they cannot stay the night.  This will now be a Akuna Bay Bouldering Saturday. 

For those of you who are making your own way to Akuna Bay, we will meet at a bouldering spot called Three Star Threes at 10:00am.  

Otherwise, we will meet you at the ledge at 8:45am Saturday morning. PLEASE let me know if you have a car and how many passengers you can take. 

If you get lost, call:
Emily 0421 498 752   Sam 0431 697 062 

Directions:
As you drive through the pay station at the top entrance to Ku-ring-gai park, check your odometer. 1.6km later, after safely negotiating a slight left hand bend, a small parking area will appear on the left (opposite the end of an aluminum safety railing) – park here.  If necessary, a larger parking area is available 50m further on. Follow the fire trail out of the car park for about 200m, ignoring a couple of interesting looking but shitty cliffs on the left.  You will see a couple of burnt trees and a small piece of rock on your left.  Wander up between these trees, trending right to get to the cliff (about 50 meters).  Something of a landmark is the very impressive overhanging arete sitting directly opposite the turn off to get to the Tree Star Threes.  This arete is about 30m left of the start of the climbing.   

Akuna Bay Bouldering Weekend - Scenically stunning bushland and waterways, and lots of rocks too! 

Sam Kissa and myself are organising a Saturday bouldering and camping trip to Akuna Bay in Ku-Ring-Gai-Chase National Park.  Akuna Bay is undoubtedly the most stunning place to boulder in Sydney. The bush is in immaculate condition, flora and fauna are plenty and the views are breathtaking.  Akuna Bay promises to be the most beautiful and adventurous bouldering you would have done in Sydney!

Akuna Bay offers bouldering off all grades from V0 to V7.  Most boulders are in the v3- v5 range.  It is the sort of bouldering that generally requires a broad range of skills, experience and judgement, and is not suitable for beginners. That being said, the trip is open to anyone who is up for the challenge in a social and laid back environment.

We will meet outside the ledge at 8:45am Saturday 5th June.  We will drive to Ku-Ring-Gai (45 min – 1 hour drive).  Please let us know if you have a car and can take passengers.
If it is easier for you to meet us at Akuna Bay, that is also an option. There will be some people leaving from North Sydney, so it may be possible to car pool from there. 

What to bring:

• Food for Saturday lunch
• Beer, wine, hot chocolate, chocolate, any other good stuff.
• Climbing shoes!!
• Bouldering mat (if you have one).  We will bring all the club’s bouldering mats as well.
