The amount of spaces available on this day is unlimited however we need at least 1 rope between 2 or 3 persons ideally but 4 persons max. Please post a message on the board if you are bringing a rope. For reference I will be bringing 2 ropes. The rope size requirement for the highest routes at this location is 60 m but smaller ropes can be used for the shorter pitches.

The parking is at the salle polyvalente at the top of the village where I will meet the group and guide you on the easy 20 min walk to the climbing area.

Arrival time at the salle : 0930.

Due to bad public transport connection I recommend we car share for this event . Please use the message platform below to offer or request. I will be driving from Morges if that can be of any help to anyone. Don’t forget to offer the drivers a few francs to help with the fuel.

I will bring a few print outs of the topo for those that do not have the guide book

I will also bring a BBQ with charcoal so feel free to bring some food to throw on it at lunch time. Alternatively bring a packed lunch & drinks.

We will climb to around mid to late afternoon depending on how things go.

Some knowledge of climbing is ideal where greater knowledge is required if you wish to lead climb. Some specific knowledge for lead climbing that you will need to know are placing quickdraws, clearing up, threading & lower off options.
All I ask is for the more experience climbers to help those less experienced. For the less experienced, if in any doubt seek professional instruction prior to attending this activity.

Essential equipment to bring:

-Harness
-Helmet , ( essential at this location)
-Belay device, carabiner
-Appropriate clothing and climbing shoes
-Packed lunch or BBQ items, drinks
-I will take a first aid kit and I recommend others to do the same. Climbing is dangerous remember.
-Sun cream,

Essential additional equipment if you wish to lead climb:

-Rope, please make sure its long enough for the location.
-Quick draws
-Any other climbing / safety equipment you may have or wish to bring

Spare equipment can be borrowed if you ask around the group and offer lots of beer or wine , alternatively you can rent gear in Bachli lausanne.

I will take a couple of ropes we can use for top roping or lead climbing. Climbing on them is at your own risk as it is with the use of any of my gear. I’m sure that this is the case for anyone else offering kit to use. Don’t hold them responsible, any doubts buy your own kit.

If I have forgotten anything I will add it to the message board. I look forward to seeing you there.

Jay

Note: Climbing is dangerous, attend and climb at your own risk
