SUMMARY:CCA General Meeting / guest speaker: Duncan Brown
DESCRIPTION:Come and hear a rundown of the CCA’s recent activities plus general climbing news and points of interest\, followed by our guest speaker presentation. \nCCA members and non-members are welcome. \nDinner is available from The Limestone Kitchen at the Ainslie Football Club\, providing a great chance to relax and socialise with other CCA members before the meeting starts at 7.30pm. A table in the name of CCA is booked for 6pm. \nGuest speaker: Duncan Brown\nAn outdoor athlete’s life is one of trials and tribulations\, but few go through as many as internationally renowned Aussie climber Duncan Brown… and all in his own backyard (Australian Geographic Adventure). \nDuncan is a prolific first ascensionist who has been quietly putting up an impressive number of new bouldering routes in the ACT region. Most recently\, Duncan and his crew have been dedicating significant time and energy to developing a brand new bouldering area at The Outer Rim\, out along Corin Road. \nThis new zone is quickly generating buzz\, and Duncan will be sharing insights into the development of the area and what boulderers can expect from this significant addition to the ACT bouldering scene.
