The club has a wide range of gear
Borrowing Gear
The gear cupboard is there for members to hire and return gear for club and private trips! The club typically has gear night every Thursday right before we all head to The Ledge for social climbing, around 5pm - 6pm.
The location of the gear cupboard is here, on the outside of the Arc Sport building (Sam Cracknell Pavilion). Please check out the UNSWOC Facebook group for reminders and any slight changes in time each week. Throughout the year there will be occasional periods of gear recall or hiring restrictions around events such as 'Boree Log', which will all be announced on the Facebook group.
Our gear officers often change as the executive committee changes, so be sure to check out our exec team to see who current officers are! In order to hire gear you need to get in touch with them by email at gear@unswoc.org, on Facebook, or the best option is going to our gear nights mentioned above.
Deposit
All members borrowing club gear have to leave a cash deposit (exceptions only for executive members and trip leaders for trips they are leading). If you return the gear clean and dry within 3 weeks you'll get your entire deposit back. If you don't return gear within 3 weeks and don't message one of the gear officers about a renewal, you forfeit your deposit!! We don't want to be chasing down every club member who can't be bothered to return gear.
Rental Fees
These fees will have to be paid for private trips only! Gear hire is FREE for all club trips - including hiring shoes for The Ledge. Hire of safety gear is also free for private trips (First Aid Kit, PLB), we want you to stay safe kiddos.
Please have this money with you in cash!
If we have to bug you for weeks, you will NOT get the deposit back!
Find the current list of deposit/rental prices below (subject to availability). For things that are not listed, just ask one of us gear people.
Club Library
The club has a modest library of guidebooks and instructional books. They can be borrowed by members at gear nights or by arranging a time with the gear officers. Reading instructional books and discussing with experienced club members is a great way to make yourself a safer, more skilled club member.
