OT Section - Tuesday Night Rock Climbing

The ever-popular Tuesday Night Rock Climbing will begin again for this summer on Tuesday, 2 October, though it does appear that, just like last year, the far eastern end of Mapoutahi may only be suitable for deep water soloing for a few weeks yet.

Once again, this year we are investigating a range of Section courses to encourage new climbers to develop skills and safe climbing practices. These will be advertised in the Newsletter and on Facebook so that, as a preference, first-time climbers to Tuesday evenings will have had a chance to learn the basics before they come out. We also plan to offer courses for the more experienced intermediate climbers; especially those keen to learn trad. climbing skills.

Without getting too much red tape wrapped round our climbing, we are going to continue with the check-in system we started last year, so we do have basic contact details for those climbing each week, particularly where climbers are not members or are not known to us. As well as giving us basic safety information, it will allow us to better understand who is coming each week and what they want from the section.
