Come & Try - Indoor Sport Climbing

We are going climbing!

The sessions are for new members who havent done roped climbing before, for those that can already climb you are welcome to come along to climb at these times, get a general ticket as we can see whos going to attend.

We have 2 time slots at Glasgow Climbing Centre (GCC) on Thursday 26th September. We will have competent members available to show you how to climb and go through general safety. You will have to be signed in by members of the club who are signed off so please arrive on time to make the whole process easy!

The sessions times are:

  1. First session: 5pm - 6.30pm
  2. Second session: 6:45pm - 8.15pm

One ticket per person.

While the system allows you to select tickets for both sessions, we kindly ask you to get a ticket for and come to just one of the sessions to give others the chance to come to the event as well!

You will have to pay the entry fee, and climbing shoes, harness, and belay device will need to be rented. Please wear comfortable (sport) clothes. We also very much recommend bringing a warm fleece or jumper for when you are not climbing as it can get chilly when you are belaying your partner!

We will meet at GCC itself (located on 534 Paisley Road West, G51 1RN), by public transport the closest Subway station is Ibrox.

 

The Balcony Cafe in GCC offers drinks and fantastic food so feel free to stay after the first session or arrive early for the second one and eat, drink and chat with us!

 

If you are registered to climb unsupervised at GCC or are an experienced sport climber and can take the necessary wee test on the day, you can select the general ticket and just join us for the fun. This ticket is only so that we have an idea of numbers, you will still have to pay the normal student entry fee at GCC and pay for any rental gear you might need.
