Who can become a member?
Sorry no more non-students can get the roxx deal for 2011. We have reached our allowed non-student limit! Students can still get the Roxx deal
Anyone! 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. (please not we only have a limited number of Roxx deals available to non-student members)
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 within the next week.
- Gear must the returned in fill in the condition it was rented
- Deposit may be required and kept if the gear becomes 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 (if they haven't changed since the earthquake)
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.
- $10 (or 2/3s prices) on all other days of the week.
- 1/2 price gear hire

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!)
