Weekly Ledge Nights
Every Thursday at 6pm we go indoor climbing at the Ledge. This is the best place to meet new people in the club, attend skills workshops and socialise at the Forest Lodge Hotel afterwards.
Boree Log
In terms 1 and 3 we run a big weekend away where we take about 100 people up to the mountains for a weekend of camping, climbing, canyoning, hiking, and other sports if possible.
We head up on Friday night and camp. On Saturday morning we get up and go out on our trips, that night we cook you a big feast and have a themed party!
Sunday morning we pack and clean up, head out on our trips for the day, and finally come back down to Sydney. This usually occurs around the midterm break. Have a look at the Boree Log page for more info.
Welcome Hike
A relaxed social hike designed to introduce you to the club and fellow outdoor enthusiasts while exploring beautiful local trails! Happens during the first week of Terms 1 and 3.
It’s the perfect, way to kick off your journey with UNSWOC, meet new friends, and get a taste of the adventures we have planned for the term!
Welcome BBQ
Not a big hiker?
At the start of term (usually in week 1) we throw a free BBQ to welcome the new members. The night is filled with sausage sandwiches, cheap beer, slacklining, table-bouldering, climbing various structures, and other monkey business.
This BBQ happens at The Ledge (see above) so is a great introduction to the club's social events
Other major events
- Easter Climbing - Often a bunch of members will head down to Mt Arapiles and live the climbing bum dream, though a perhaps little short lived. This is an intermediate-advanced trip.
- Bungonia Palooza - In term 2 we to have a weekend down in Bungonia National Park for some amazing Caving (and other sports).
- Ski Weekend - In 2015 we had our first big ski-weekend away. In mid-August we hired a bus to take 60 of us down to Jindabyne where we stayed in a lodge and had two great days of resort skiing. This is a great opportunity for people to learn how to ski so that we can get more people out to the back-country which is where our hearts lie. We're going to try to keep this going in the years to come. After the depths of winter pass the snow fields start to melt and this provides us with one of the best opportunities for whitewater kayaking too!
- And of course club trips pretty much every weekend during term!
