Title: Climbing - Ozone - Sunday 30th Dec
Post by: Typo-On on November 30, 2012
**Thread title edited to show date of event**

Just a note if your thinking about bringing kids I think the ozone is 8+, Im thinking of another date at the hotrock to accomodate younger kids too ie one of mine ;) as I think they will take younger kids

Does anyone want to have a bit of a climb over the Xmas break.

Obviously our Tuesday nights are going to be taking a break so I was thinking a daytime one or two ;) could be good. We could spend a fair bit of time if we wanted. It would be the perfect opportunity to come and join us if you fancy giving it a go as we would have plenty of time to muck about and 'show you the ropes'  :-\ ;D

I know Anne wants a go at the ozone and I wouldn't mind the hotrock but I'm happy to do either or both :) Megan is getting quick draws for Xmas so the ozone would be good for her but I know she would be happy wih the hotrock too.

At this point I'm available any day except Xmas, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. I should be off the New Years week too.

couple of (maybe silly) questions

when/if you get to the top do you climb over like gladiators or jump of and get lowered on a harness?

is it 100% novice friendly

how much, lol

I'll probably be there around 12.30/12.45.

I hope to see lots of pictures being taken, should be our biggest climbing meet yet.

Just thought I might as well asking, I cant see it but sure. Does anyone have a spare pair of climbing shoes size 4, for Grace?

Silly Ozone don't loan shoes, and I'm convinced they could make money if they did.

Do you want me to bring the surgical saw and we can cut your foot too and then everyone can share?  :D

Myself, and possibly Grace, if she is feeling well enough. Hope to see a few new faces.

I was there yesterday and couldn't get that 6a again guys, gutted with myself. On the brighter side there were a couple of new routes threw up yesterday when I was there on the furthest right overhanging route.
