Hard Rock Climbing - CBD - Drinks/Dinner after

Indoor climbing is a great activity and workout and fundamental training for outdoor climbing, scrambling and mountaineering. It's usually pretty social, supportive and lots of fun.

More advanced events in this group typically require some experience of climbing and this is where you get that experience and are evaluated for those trips.

Indoor climbing events in this group may not be appropriate for novice climbers i.e you must know how to belay safely. Ideally you would own your own climbing gear e.g Harness, climbing shoes etc.

Its expected that you know how to belay safely and have already passed the gym safety induction. No training will be given here. You will be evaluated to our safety standards if you are new. We'll correct any deficiencies you may have. If you don't pass muster we'll srnd you back for the gym safey induction (which is usually barely adequate).

Generally, to participate with us you would need to have had at least 5 to 10 sessions of indoor climbing.

If it's your first time at this gym you need to book in (so they can run you through the safety induction)

If you are late it may be impossible to find us as we don't carry phones whilst climbing. Get there 15 minutes early.
