"I see climbing as being inextricably linked to all the other great pleasures and disappointments in my life: cooking, eating, politics, religion and sex. I ingest it all with sweet, sweet gluttony."- Andrew Bisharat

Write an email to the membership officer or join us on Tuesdays or Thursdays in the Rec Center!

Who can become a member?

Anyone (even non-students)! You don't even need to have done any climbing before, all you need is to be interested and that's it - you qualify! If you don't make it to Clubs Day at the start of the year, you can contact the Membership Officer directly and he will sort you out.

Gear hire

To hire gear, you must be a member of the club.
When this little requirement is filled, simply contact the club president or the hiring coordinator to sort out a time to come and pick up the gear
What we have...
Boulder Mats, Harnesses, Ropes, Quickdraws, Nuts, Cams, Caribiners, Helmets, ATC's and other belay devices, Slings, a slackline kit bouncing around, and more to come.

Your subs get us more gear for you!

Gear hire rules

• Gear is hired out on a first come, first served basis
• Gear must be returned on or before the organised time, and in good condition ready for the next person to use
• Deposit has to paid for each item hired, and will be kept by the club if gear is overdue
• Any damage to club gear will be charged to the person who hired it - so if you put your name down for anything, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT

If you want to hire gear see us on Tuesdays or Thursdays at the Rec center or contact the Gear Officer.

Deals

The Roxx Indoor Climbing Centre is a major sponsor to the Climbing Club.

As a result of many talks/climbing sessions/beers with the owners we have set up the Student Days Membership (for University of Canterbury Climbing Club members only).

• Get free Registration at the Roxx (normally $3).
• Get discounted concession cards, i.e. 10 Session pass... for just 80$!
• Get half-price climbing on Saturday, Sunday and Monday after midday! This sounds average but they only open at midday and are open until 10. You can come and go as you please for the day which is sweet as.

R&R Sport Lichfield St (formerly Mainland) is the club's new greatly welcome sponsor. Especially for our members (with club ID only!) R&R Sport offers some great treats:

• Discount on most climbing gear
• Get cheap climbing starter packs (harness, shoes, chalk bag)
• Come along to R&R's special "buy-nights" with 20% to 50% discount on all climbing gear in store (for club members only, the store is not open for the public on those nights!)
