even better

[suspectmonkey]

I've amended the first post with the names of those who want to go.  Any more names to add to the list?

What way do we want to do this then?  Tuesday nights seems to suit everyone, is there any particular time slot?  Personally I'd find it easier to get to Belfast for 8pm rather than 6.30pm but I can make it work either way.

Also do we want to see if we can get our own class, or if the 12th April suits everyone for a start date will we just try and book on to the course on the website?  I'm happy enough to give Ozone a call to get the details and sort it out, but I will be away for a week come Saturday so would really need to be phoning them tomorrow or Friday if we want booked on to one of those courses.

Tue at 8 suits me fine. May as well try and get a class with just us in it if it's possible.

Will we still go for a start date of 13th April if it suits everyone?  Thats assuming they can run a private class on the same date/time as they have an open class scheduled.  Mind you they seem to have classes scheduled just about every night so I cant see that being a problem.

Suits me

Think me and kendog would be up for the improver course, good to get a few of us like this together and learning new skills. I think the mobile team canoe guys do a course also for anyone interested.

Chris on the improvers course do they go into detail and practice with quick draws, nuts or chams that's what I would like to get some practice with?

I havn't done improvers course but seein as its an indoor wall I think the most you would handle is quickdraws thats if they even let you lead. You'd prob be better giving them a ring. I think your looking for a learning to lead course imo you'd be better checking out the tullymore site and get on one there, other wise, (how I did it) Stick a post on The likes of UKC, northern climbers, climbing.ie and see if anyone is looking a partner second with them for a while then move onto leading.

Jon 8 suits me to mate. I'm happy with class too. But i'm easy what ever the group decides i'm in.

Hi guys, sorry its taken me a while to post but with being away in Scotland I'm only getting myself organised and back to work today!

I phoned Ozone and the scheduled classes were all fully booked.  However, because we have 8 people interested they should be able to put on a private class.  Ozone have given me an e-mail address for the guy who takes the classes, so I'm just waiting on him replying to give me some further details.

So the start date is still TBC, but once I know more I will post up.  Sorry again for taking awhile to get back to everyone about this!

No worries mate. How did you get on with the west highland way?

WHW was truly amazing!  Awesome route, and even just 8 days of walking and camping can be extremely refreshing!  Will post up a bit more info on the route and some photos at some stage, but I'd highly recommend it and I would definitely do it again myself

I meant to say to you fellas yesterday that I heard back from the guy who runs the climbing courses at Ozone.  He can arrange a class from 6.30pm - 8pm on Tuesdays.  Unfortunately 8pm - 9.30pm isn't available as it clashes with another class at the moment.  No start date arranged yet, but I assume we could get things underway in the next week or two if everyone is agreeable on the time.

So how does 6.30pm - 8pm suit everyone?  Probably handy for any one who works in Belfast and can go there straight from work rather than having to go home.

Suits me ok - thanks.
