Oxford Indoor Bouldering

Hold on tight fellas, OutdoorLads is now running a monthly indoor bouldering session in Oxford! 

I'm sure many of us are no strangers to this kind of event, having become a very popular addition to ODL's catalogue with other chapters established in London, Bristol, Reading, Manchester and Sheffield. 

For those new to the sport indoor bouldering is a form of rock climbing performed without ropes or harness on artificial walls (~3-4m) with crash mats underneath for safety. Here your technique and your problem solving ability counts just as much as your strength, so be prepared to work out both body and mind, all in a very social and friendly atmosphere (seriously, the puzzle solving nature of this sport acts as an amazing ice breaker when chatting to new people). I will also be there to welcome you into the group and answer any questions you may have, as well as offer climbing tips should you need them 😊.   

We will be meeting at the Gallery Bouldering center located in the heart of Oxford, offering over 100m of bouldering wall (and growing) with a diverse range of routes catering for beginners all the way to Font 7C, so that there is something for all skill levels to enjoy. Afterwards we may also pop in for a pint at one of the many nearby pubs.

As with most climbing gyms there is a waiver that you will need to sign to check that you understand the risks involved and the proper climbing etiquette to follow to keep others and yourself safe while climbing. This can be filled out at reception but can also be done ahead of time by following the link here.

Please also note that this is a liquid chalk only gym, which can be readily purchased at reception.

Hope to see you there!
