New Student Climb!

Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym – St Peter’s

Wednesday March 18th, 6pm

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION! YOU MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS IN YOUR COMMENT TO BE ACCEPTED!

Hey Everyone!

If you’re a student who has just joined the club or is considering joining, we have the perfect event for you! We want to get to know you better so we will be running a climbing event at Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym in St Peter’s at 6pm, Wednesday March 18th. This is a great climbing gym with bouldering and rope climbing. Whether you’ve never touched a climbing hold before or you’re a pro, this event is open to everyone! Sign up for good times and great vibes!

Who Can Come Along?

All UNSW students! (Yes, even if you’re not a member yet). Arc Sport is kindly funding this event to help encourage UNSW students to give climbing a go and get involved in the club. If you are not a UNSW student, feel free to come join in but you will need to pay the regular entry fee.

This event is especially for the new members who have just started uni, joined the club this year, or who have heard about UNSWOC and might be looking to join soon. You’ll be paying a reduced entry fee of $5!!! Harnesses will be included. The gym closes at 10pm, so if you would still like to come but might be running a little late, let us know in the comment below.

To all our lovely club members who’ve been around for longer, we would love for you to come along too. As the event is on a Wednesday, you’ll have the entry discount of $14.50 that you can pay directly to the gym on the day so you won’t need to apply to this event page, you can just show up. So please join for a great social event!

So what will you be doing exactly?

Climbing!! You’ll be taught the basics of the sport and how to safely climb and belay, then you’ll be ready to hop on the wall! You’ll also interact with other club members both new and old. If you have any questions about the club, there will be some exec floating around who would love to help you out. If you already have bucket loads of experience, there may be a chance to learn some lead climbing 🙂

A harness will be provided and you have the option of renting shoes for $5. We will start off the session with an induction on how to climb and belay safely. The gym also has a bouldering area if that’s more your cup of tea! The gym will require you to pass the belay induction, and if you want to boulder they will show you a short video and teach you how to fall safely.

Sounds great! How do I sign up?

You will need to make an account on the UNSWOC website if you haven’t already (or check if you’re signed in if you still can’t apply). You do not have to be a member to have an account or sign up to this event.

So if this sounds like something you’d be keen to come along to, let us know in the comment box below:

• Your previous climbing experience
• When you joined the club or if you haven’t yet
• Your zID
• What you’re looking forward to about the event

If you are accepted onto the event (first come, first serve so sign up quick!!), you will receive an acceptance email with payment details and an information form to fill out. If you don’t make it on but are still keen to come, please do! UNSWOC members get a discount on $14 at St Peter’s on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, other costs can be found on the gym’s website.

Can’t wait to see you all there! 🙂
