WELCOME BACK TO BOULDERING IN MANCHESTER!!

Yes, we're officially back Bouldering at Rock Over!

As we're all still emerging from Lockdown and respecting social distancing, Rock Over and OutdoorLads are running things a little differently to start with. 

Most importantly Rock Over are running a pre-booking system to manage the number of climbers in the centre at any one time - so as well as signing up to this OutdoorLads event page you MUST ALSO pre-book a session through Rock Over's website. Don't forget to add your space at the Concessionary Rate to benefit from the discounted rate OutdoorLads has agreed with the centre. As before, we'd ask that all members sign up through the event page to make sure the event leader has all information of the members attending.

Rock Over's sessions are for three hours starting on the hour - but we appreciate not everyone may want to turn up at the same time - so we're running the event from 5:30 to 9:30 to give you that flexibility - this is the one OutdoorLads event where we don't require you to be on time!!

Please also check out the Centre's Covid-19 update page before attending to understand how they are operating; including limited changing areas, lockers, cafe etc..  

Before attending you might wish to consider obtaining the Free NHS Covid-19 Home Testing (Rapid lateral flow) kits, available online, and doing a simple self-test. 

I'm new to Bouldering - can I come along?   Sadly, not just yet - but we'll be welcoming beginners back soon! Whilst we're still finding our feet, observing social distancing, and for the safety and comfort of our volunteer leaders, we're not able to offer sessions for those who are new to Bouldering just yet - sorry!! However, we love welcoming new climbers and getting you bouldering - and we will (hopefully!) be running beginners sessions again soon, keep an eye on the website, or drop Sieh (Regional Climbing Organiser) a message and we'll let you know when we plan to restart these sessions.
