Climb & Chill 🧗‍♂️☕️

What's up Friends! 👋
Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? 🤔 It’s climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropes—and in my case, without much hope! 😂✨
It’s a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome company—which we’ve got! 😎

The Idea:
📍 Meeting Point: For those arriving at 13:00, we’ll meet at the cafeteria.
Feel free to start earlier or later—just drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up.
💪 Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight!
🥤 Recharge: If you’ve had enough climbing for the day, we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunny🌤️) around 15:00 for snacks & drinks. (Cafeteria closes at 22:00.)
