Bouldering Social @ The Valley Climbing Centre

After our first test run, I'm declaring the bouldering social an official success, and there's definitely enthusiasm for more, so we'll continue with climbing.
Out next social is going to be at The Valley - it's a bigger venue, so we'll have uncapped attendee numbers, and it's a little closer to Newcastle city centre 🙏
Let me know if you wanna join in on the WhatsApp group chat as well, for easier conversation.

About
Have you wanted to try climbing? Or maybe you're already chalk-addicted and can't wait to get back on the rock? Whether you want to get a workout in or just hangout with your friends, bouldering just might be the thing for you.
Bouldering is a climbing variant done without ropes or harnesses on a relatively short wall. There are think foam mattresses covering the floor, protecting you in case you fall off.
Bouldering is a great way to stay physically active. It adds problem-solving and community to a workout, as you figure out how to attack a route together with friends.

Important info
If you've never climbed at The Valley before, you first need to complete a registration on their website (registration form). The form includes basic safety instructions and disclaimers.
There are shelves to leave your belongings in. I've never had an issue leaving my belongings unattended, but do it at your own risk.
Make sure to bring or wear comfortable sportswear.

Costs
£15.50 per person for one day entry + shoe hire (you can check prices here)

Are we doing something afterwards?
The plan is to climb for about 1.5-2 hours, maybe with a break in the middle for a snack and a hot drink. Afterwards we can go for a drink or food - there are plenty of places nearby in Ouseburn.
