Outdoor Climbing and Rope Training Talk…

Outdoor climbing can be very dangerous so in order to be allowed to come climbing outdoors and participate in ropes training you must come to this session. We will only be doing a couple of these talks before the outdoor season starts so if you have plans on coming outdoors then I’d highly recommend attending this first talk.

Members who have been previously signed off or attended outdoor climbs last year will still have to attend the outdoor safety talk but if you are a competent ropes climber and have been signed off you don’t have to attend the ropes workshop.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
