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. Otherwise sign up in the Univeristy rec centre either Tuesday or Thursday 7pm onwards. To get in just tell the dude on the door you're going to climbing and you'll be sweet as!
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 boncing 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.
