Scottish Hillwalking & Activities Group - Climbing

This event is open only to members of the Glasgow climbing centre who can competently belay.

Relaxed Friday night climbing at Glasgow Climbing Centre.

The evening will be 6:30 onwards with introductions and toprope and lead climbing before a break at 8:15ish to hit the cafe upstairs for some cake and chat.

Anyone attempting lead climbing should be safe and competent to do so.

This meetup is open to complete beginners or novices to try indoor climbing. You'll get a chance to climb and be belayed by a competent climber. This session runs from 7PM to 9PM. The centre is open until 10pm. Please meet at the reception at the entrance at 7PM to get signed in. Please don't be late. At the moment, there are only 2 spaces. However this may change and it is always worth joining the waiting list as other organisers may sign up. We'll be at the Glasgow Climbing Centre on Paisley Road West. For anyone who's not visited before, you'll find directions on their website here (http://www.glasgowclimbingcentre.com/contact_us/directions.php). A virtual tour of the main climbing area can be found here (http://www.pikodesign.com/tour/gcc/). Photos of a previous trip can also be viewed here (https://4142298.xyz/scottish-hillwalkers/photos/750662/). As well as the main area, there are also several bouldering areas, an additional top roping area and a training room. Please only RSVP if you are intending to come. If you change your mind please say so to allow someone else to have a shot - if you are at the top of the waiting list please check close to the event time to see if there is a late drop out.

Equipment may be hired from the climbing centre as a harness and climbing shoes are required.

GENERAL INFO

FIRST TIMERS

For first timers to the event, you should expect to be met by the night host and be given a reasonable introduction to other group members who are attending.

Please keep in mind that this is only possible if your profile is a clear photo of your face. If we can't recognise you then it is your responsibility to find us, as we will not waste time trying to find someone who looks like a bowl of fruit or a sunflower.

If you are completely new to climbing the host (or other group member) will join you out on the mats and give you a brief rundown of the basics. However keep in mind that we are not responsible for your safety under any circumstances, and that the introductory video provided by TCA will give you all the info you need. Of course if you have any questions please ask away, every single one of our regulars are more than happy to help despite how grumpy/tired they may look at the time.

What you should NOT expect is to be accompanied by the host the whole night, or "lessons" from existing members. Be aware that hosts are volunteers, and are still coming along to the night to climb themselves.

IMPORTANT

We will be located in the cafe area usually between 6:00 to 6:30, if you are new to the meetup and will be arriving after 6.30 please leave a message in the app so that we can either wait a bit longer or lookout for you on the mats. If you don't leave a message and don't show up on time we will have to assume that you are a no-show, as hosts have been losing time waiting for people.

We always try and do our best to lookout for new members upon arrival, you can help by leaving a message and making sure your profile picture is a clear photo of your face.

ISSUES & SAFETY

If any member, new or old, have any issues that stem from the group such as but not limited to harassment or inappropriate conduct, please bring it up with the event organiser Gordon Robb either on the night (if i'm there) or privately through personal messages.

Everyone in the group tries their utmost to provide a safe environment for people to relax in, and i can promise that even minor issues will be confidential and given serious consideration.
