Indoor Climbing in North Wales - Indy Climbing Wall

OutdoorLads on Tour from the Beacon to support the Indy Queer climbing evening

Blurb from Indy:

" We are excited to announce our upcoming QUEER NIGHT at Indy!

We know that climbing can be a fantastic way to express oneself and feel empowered, and we want to create a space where our LGBTQIA+ community can come together and feel supported while doing so. Our queer night is a space where climbers of all skill levels and abilities can feel comfortable and welcome.

Our staff will be on hand to provide guidance and support and to answer any questions you have about climbing. Our queer night is more than just a climbing session, it’s an opportunity to connect with others in the community while engaging in a fun and challenging activity. We aim to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can feel seen and heard."

Indoor climbing centres offer the challenges of climbing that you'll find on natural rock crags - simply indoors! It's a fun way to stay fit, make new friends and develop your climbing skills.

Designed, built and used by people that are passionate about climbing, the Indy Climbing Wall is arguably the best indoor bouldering venue in North Wales and is designed to cater for all levels, from first experience to elite performance. As well as a huge range of bouldering problems there are plenty of top-roped and routes to lead climb.

We're a small group of regular ODLers that meet each week. Whether you're an experienced climber or have never climbed before you'll be welcomed into the group straight away. We're fortunate to have a good team of qualified and experienced climbing instructors who are all happy to share their knowledge.

To come along simply register via this event page. You will need to pay an entry fee direct to the climbing centre when you arrive - please see their website for prices. 

--------------------------------

I'm new to climbing - can I come along? If you've never climbed before, just let us know so we can arrange for you to be signed into the climbing centre as a supervised climber so that you can come and give it a try. If you enjoy your climbing experience, and would like to come climbing more regularly, we will also happily show you the ropes and teach you everything you need to know to climb safely.

Do I need to be supervised as a climber? If you answer NO to any of the following three questions, then you will need to arrange to be supervised. If you can answer YES to all these questions, you can sign up to this event as normal:

1. Can you fit a climbing harness correctly?
2. Can you tie in to a rope using the correct knots?
3. Can you belay another climber correctly and confidently?

If you need to arrange a supervised session, please message the event leader before you sign up to this event to check availability for this session. Please note that the climbing centre limits the number of novice climbers we can supervise, so if you do not do this unfortunately we can't guarantee that we can sign you in to take part on the day (you can still sign yourself in to go bouldering though).
