Climbing - All you need to know!Tuesday and Thursdays 7pm
NUIG Climbing Wall, Kingfisher Sports Centre
We climb at our brand new climbing wall in the new Kingfisher Student Sports Centre.
You can find a map to the climbing wall here.
Club nights at the climbing wall are Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7pm onwards.
(These are nights when we have the climbing wall exclusively for NUIG club members only) How to start: - Sign up for beginner sessions (you can do that here).
- Take two instructed beginner sessions, and then take a safety assessment.
- When you pass you'll be given a climbing card
What we'll teach you: - We'll teach you how to use a climbing harness, knot tieing, belaying, and how to climb.
What you'll need: A tight fitting pair of runners/shoes, or boots, or climbing shoes Tracksuit bottoms, or a loose/baggy pair of jeans
I have a climbing card, now what? Once you've passed the safety assessment and have been given a climbing card you can go down to the wall and climb any time you want, but only with other people who have a climbing card. Only club members on the clubs list of climbing instructors may teach others to climb. Keep coming down on Tuesdays & Thursday nights and climb with everyone else in the club  I've learned to belay elsewhere, do i have to do the sessions? If you have climbed/belayed before or with another club and you believe you don't need any training, please contact the Climbing officer to organise an assessment. Non Students For insurance reasons the Mountaineering club can only teach staff students and alumni of NUIG. If you are a non-student, the above information does not apply to you, please contact the Kingfisher Club and organise training with them.
