Alfords Point Clean Up- ReScheduled

Alfords Point crag is situated in a beautiful natural setting in Georges River National Park, which sadly suffers from being on the edge of suburbia, thus accumulating rubbish. Climbers can help improve and keep this area clean. Join other climbers and the NPWS to help remove litter in the morning and then stay on for a climb in the afternoon shade. The event is being supported by ClimbFit Kirrawee who are kindly providing an incentive for all participants with one free gym admission.

When

• Saturday morning, 10th May8:45 -11:00
• please arrive at 8:45am to sign in, ready for 9:00am start. 
• stay on for optional morning tea from 11am and afternoon climb

Meeting place

Climbing Afterwards

Climbing afterwards is not part of the NPWS clean-up, so you climb at your own risk. Participating is a good way to meet people if you haven't got a regular outdoor group. People will be happy to belay and set up top ropes if you don't lead climb, but ideally you should know how to safely tie in, do buddy checks and have your own harness, helmet and shoes as a minimum. Experience top-rope belaying would also be good.
