About us

Whether you're looking for a new hobby and are not sure where to start or you're an avid climber and are looking for others to share the experience with, whatever your level, we're here to provide you with a chance to meet new people, and have some fun!

Currently, the venue for the group is Rock Over Climbing in Manchester, one of the North West's premier world class bouldering centres. It's central and highly accessible, provides excellent climbing routes for all levels and we have established an excellent relationship with the staff.

At each Meetup, we introduce ourselves, making sure you feel welcome and at ease, especially if this is your first time climbing. Beginners are usually split up into small groups and assigned to an experienced climber to ensure that we maximise climb time for your first time.

We usually climb for two hours, although we will more than likely split into smaller groups and spread out across the centre, so that we all get a good amount of climbing time.

Once comfortable, you may progress to climb with our more experienced members, though you're never forced to climb with a particular group and are always welcome to remain with beginners until you feel comfortable to move on.

After the climb, we often go for a post-climb meal and/or drink depending on who is available, providing opportunities to discuss routes and familiarise with others for the next time you attend.

Prices for first time climbers at Rock Over are £ 14.00 plus £ 3.50 shoe hire, however, you can also pay an optional annual £ 10.00 fee to the Meetup group. This reduces your costs to £ 9.50 day passes with £ 1.00 shoe hire at Rock Over Climbing.

This discount applies at any day, any time and any location, providing a substantial cost saving for 12 months from your date of purchase, meaning if you plan to climb more than twice, you'll save money in the long run!

This Paid Meetup Group Membership sign up is available in person from any Group Organiser, so speak to them and not Rock Over staff.

If you have any questions about the group, or any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us on the Meetup app and we look forward to seeing you at the next climb!
