6-8 June long weekend - Mt Kooyoora & Melville Caves

For the WVCC June base camp, we will be climbing at Mt Kooyoora and camping at Melville Caves camping area over the long weekend from Friday 5th to Monday 8th June.

Camping is free, but you are advised to turn up early as it is first in-first served and it is a long weekend.

If you haven't climbed at Mt Kooyoora, then the rock is granite and the climbing is on granite tors and craglets with a mix of trad, bolts and bouldering. A 30 m rope will get you up (and possibly down) most climbs. Depending on your preference, you could bring a full rack (nuts and a full set of cams), or a bouldering pad. You will need helmet, harness and boots.

All intending participants must contact the trip coordinator, Sam North,  prior to the trip to let him know you are coming, your level of experience and whether you need a climbing partner - and if you have any questions (0417 138 163; or email samuel.hs.north@gmail.com)

You will need to bring all the necessaries for outdoor camping for the weekend.

• camping gear
• food and water
• suitable clothing - check the weather forecast a few days prior.
