Climb & Repair You Yangs	12 May 2012

Location: Urinal Wall, You Yangs	Tracey Skinner
Details: Finally, after much delay due to floods and damage to pipes etc. etc. etc. the grant funding will be spent on building a retaining wall at the Urinal Wall area. This is a popular group site so the wall will help protect the vegetation from further trampling. No specific skills are required - we are the 'grunt' who will labour! Predominantly sourcing rock m the general vicinity and possibly helping out where required with the wall construction itself. Plenty of time to grab a climb or two and if all goes well, we might have a few sausages for the event. All climbing levels are welcome - climbing partners for all. Contact the leader beforehand to confirm details.
