About us
Welcome! This is a social rock climbing and bouldering group bringing climbers from around Bristol and the surrounding areas together.
We host a weekly indoor bouldering event every Tuesday evening at Bloc. Bloc offers a 10% discount on the standard entry fee for those attending Meetup sessions. Just confirm you're attending on the Bloc website to claim the discount 😁
Etiquette and rules
We want the group to be a positive, inclusive and safe space where everyone is treated equally, can climb safely, and meet new people.
Behaviour that makes others feel unsafe, including unsolicited messages, inappropriate comments, requests for photos, or any form of harassment, is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
If hosts have reason to believe an individual is breaking these rules, they may be removed from the group.
If anyone feels uncomfortable or concerned at any of our meetups, please don't hesitate to get in touch with one of the hosts. We take all concerns seriously and will take appropriate steps where needed.

Hope to see you soon!

WHO CAN CLIMB?
Anyone can climb!
Beginners / inexperienced climbers:
You'll be in very safe hands. A more experienced member will help you get started and along with the rest of the team help you on your climbing journey. After a few sessions you'll be ready to take a straightforward short safety / house rules test at reception to become a Bloc member.
Experienced climbers:
If you’ve climbed before but not at Bloc, however feel comfortable with general bouldering centre rules, you should be able to sign up as a member at Bloc straight away.
If you're already a member at Bloc then you can of course get going straight away.
GETTING STARTED
We’ll meet at the tables near reception, and the hosts will be there to welcome you, sign you in, and help you get started.
No experience is needed and beginners are very welcome. Many people attend on their own, so you won’t be the only one.

The best clothing to wear is comfortable, flexible clothing, for example loose trousers or shorts, leggings, t-shirt, or vest.
Trainers are allowed, but climbing shoes are recommended for better grip and performance.
