Indoor Climbing - MANCHESTER (Beginners Welcome!)

INDOOR CLIMBING @ Parthian Climbing Manchester!

This event is intended as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community; everyone will be warmly welcomed

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.

Set in the former St.Benedict's Church, Manchester Climbing centre provides over 195 roped routes, auto-belays and two dedicated bouldering areas. With a variety of grades and styles from some of the UK's best route setters, it offers a wealth of interesting climbing options for climbers of all abilities. 

To come along, please register via this event page and to climb you will need to pay an entry fee directly to the climbing centre when you arrive, please see their website for prices (OutdoorLads members qualify for a discounted Concessionary rate). 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.

If you're new to this centre, please complete their waiver to save time on the day.

I'm new to Climbing - can I come along?   If you've never climbed before or need a refresher, the leader will sign you into the climbing centre as a supervised climber so that you can come and give it a try. Please contact the leader in advance as there is a limit on how many new climbers the centre will allow us to sign in.

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.

Want to nerd up before the big day? There's some useful videos on YouTube (not made by ODL) for:

how to belay

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?

IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement

You MUST complete a Participation Statement, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend. 

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 centre’s staff. Everyone must also take responsibility for their own safety while participating in Indoor climbing events.
