This event is part of the AGM Celebration Weekend 2018 and more events will be added soon!
Come and join us for a morning of indoor climbing & bouldering before the ODL AGM. Whether you're a seasoned climber - or just curious and want to give it a try - everyone is welcome!!
Redpoint Climbing Centre has more than 75 lines with over 300 routes, set through some spectacular ground including its notorious 'stalactite'. It even features one of the few indoor 'Yorkshire VS cracks' in the country, to test your jamming skills.
Redpoint's bouldering rooms are just as interesting as its climbing routes. Over 200 bouldering problems have been organised into graded circuits to provide something for everyone. We also have a great endurance training board and a training room fitted with a campus board and the ever popular Beastmaker fingerboards.
If you've never climbed before and want to give it a try, we'll have a couple of event leaders and experienced climbers & boulderers on hand to show you the ropes and get you started, but if this your first time climbing with us, or you're a novice climber and think you may need a guided session, please contact the event leader in advance to let him know.
To come along, you will need to register on the ODL event page, and to climb you will need to complete a registration form and pay an entry fee directly to the centre when you arrive (£3 annual registration plus £8 to climb). Details on entry fees and equipment hire prices are available on the Redpoint Climbing Centre website.
Participation Statement
Please note that every person participating should be aware of (and accept) that those members perceived as ‘in charge’ or leading the event are not necessarily qualified, do not need to be qualified, and are not regarded by OutdoorLads, or themselves as ‘technical experts’ but are amateur climbers with some experience and who are happy to impart their knowledge. Any advice given should be considered with this in mind by the recipient. All those attending the event must also be aware of the centre's own terms and conditions of participation and abide by them, along with any instructions given by the centres staff. Everyone must also take responsibility for their own safety while participating in Indoor climbing events.
A range of events are happening on the AGM Weekend - Others will be addded as they're finalised . . . keep your eyes peeled for more.
