All going well, we'll be finishing up around 4pm, followed by a stop-over on the way home at the pub for dinner. Equipment needed: - Climbing Helmet (bike / snowboard helmets are not acceptable) - Harness - Climbing Shoes These will need to be organised the week before the trip (the gear room is fairly accommodating, and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays - see roc.org.au). The rest of the rock-climbing gear we need will be taken care of for you. Apart from your own climbing things, you'll also need: - lunch (to eat) - rain jacket (if it rains) - at least 2L water (VERY IMPORTANT) - snacks (to snack on) - Hiking shoes to walk in (that aren't climbing shoes) - a backpack to put everything in Costs: $10 for gear hire and petrol costs will be divided amongst passengers, but usually does not come to more than $20. Please bring cash on the day and don't forget the pub meal afterwards too. Let me know if you've got any questions.

An afternoon at Urban Climb, Blackburn!
If you haven't been to this gym before, you will need to do an induction.

This gym also has a bouldering area.

We typically start with a warm-up session from 2:00 to 2:30 PM before moving on to top-rope or lead climbing - through you’re welcome to start top-rope or lead as you prefer. If you’re looking for the host, she/he will be in bouldering area during the warmup. You can also spot the host on climbing wall, easily recognizable by a dangling duck hanging from their harness.

Hello Climbers!

Just meet at the yellow sign and introduce yourself :) From there we pair up to climb. If we have an odd number of people, we can make a rotating group of 3. There is also a self-belay area if you want to get in more climbing if in a group of 3 or arriving earlier.

If the event you are planning to go to only has one or 2 people on the ‘attending’ list, we encourage organising a climbing partner in advance so you can make sure you have at least one other person there to climb with! Feel free to reach out on the event wall or message a host :)

Meet up will start at 6pm but if you want to start earlier you certainly can, but again you will need to organise a climbing partner in advance.

New climbers are welcome, however your mandatory induction takes about 15/20mins. Harnesses, shoes and chalk bag can be hired also.

Book in here for your induction:

If you are unwell, please don't attend!

If you're interested in joining an outdoor bouldering trip at some point, this is intended as a skills prep session for those new to it.
The first outdoor bouldering trip can sometimes be a bit painful and discouraging, so we'd like to help by explaining basic challenges in more friendly environment.
Topics we'll cover :

• Bouldering Outdoors Ethics;
• Spotting;
• Crashpads Management;
• Sit Starts practice;
• General bouldering tips;
• Risks of Topping out;
  We'll start at 7pm and it will take about 1- 1.5 hours. After the training we'll stay a bit longer to climb if people are keen.
  Equipment needed:

• Climbing Shoes
• If you don't have your own shoes, they're available for hire at the ROC gear room, open Tuesdays and Thursday 6:30pm - 7:30pm. Shoe hire will be free for the session, but a $50 cash deposit is required.
  Crashpads will be arranged for you.
  Details about the location are available on the crag:

  See you all there!

This is a beginner friendly bouldering trip to Mount Alexander. We will head up on early on the Saturday morning, meet at Harcourt General Store at 9am and then head to the boulders.
Never bouldered outside before? No worries! We will go through some basics and then get on some easy boulders (grades V0-V4). Some indoor climbing experience is helpful but not compulsory. The aim of the day will be to get lots of fun, easy climbing done without focusing too much on the grades!
More experienced climbers are of course welcome, but be aware we'll likely be trying lots of problems rather than spending significant time projecting 1 or 2 climbs. We'll be either aiming to go to Kingdom Boulders (nice and shaded if it's hot) or Land of the Overhangs area.
Please bring:

• Climbing shoes
• A day's worth of food and plenty of water (no accessible water on site)
• Appropriate clothes (check the forecast please!)
• Sturdy shoes for walking to and from the boulders
• Sun protection.
  If you don't have your own climbing shoes that's not a problem - you can hire them from the ROC gear room, open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. For inquiries email [email protected] .
  We will climb for most of the day and then head to a nearby pub (Victoria Hotel - Woodend) for dinner (optional).
  Costs:
  Crash pad hire will be divided among participan... (see website for more details - http://roc.org.au/trips/trip-info/?trip_id=5519)

See you all there!
