Indoor Climbing Wall Course

[suspectmonkey]

Was wondering if any one would be interested in starting a climbing course at Ozone in Belfast?  There is a 6 week course which will run the week commencing 12th April and there are two categories; Adult Beginners and Adult Improvers.  The classes last 90 minutes and I assume that all the gear you need is provided, although would need to check that before hand.  The price is £58.50 for the entire course which isn't bad for a total of 9 hours tuition.  More information can be found here.

There are two time slots available Mon – Fri; 6.30pm – 8pm and 8pm – 9.30pm.  I'm not sure how other people would be fixed but Monday and Wednesday nights are out for me, so I would be hoping to do either the Tuesday or Thursday slots.  From the website it also looks like you can book private classes for a minimum of 6 people at the same price, so if the starting date don't suit we can always contact them and see if we can book as a private group at a time that suits best.

Every one welcome, lemme know if you are interested!

I'm in - Tuesdays would be awesome! Obviously I'd be very much in the beginner/terrified category 

[MikeD]

Im also gonna give them a call today to get registered before the places all go.  Tuesdays suits me too.

[MG1]

Count me in, i'm in j's class the shiting yourself class.

We're going to try and get enough people together for a private class if you want to hold off calling them. Think we only need 6 and already potentially have 4.

I did one of those last year, worked out pretty well as there was only me and another girl signed up and she hardly ever went so it was pretty much one to one "tuition". They are good but Its more 90mins of messing about on the wall than actually learning to climb. You will learn a figure 8 knot and depending how many go how to belay. I would recomend however that If your planning to get into climbing in anyway get a pair of rockshoes now, It'll make things so much easier than climbing in trainners for 6weeks!

Tuesdays would work out well for me, and I think Kat will probably be up for this as well.  So that would give us 6 people already.

I would also be in the Beginner category.  I dont like heights much, although I've done a few abseils.  I'm just looking to have some fun, learn some basic rope stuff and build my confidence.

Chris, dont even mention buying more kit   I'm already considering a wet suit after Saturday

It'll be good to know some more people that can belay!

i did that a few years ago and loved it but unfortunately i couldnt do it now as they dont call me chunky trunks for nothing

[Kat]

I think this sounds great, I'll go!

[MikeD]

I have another person who wants to sign up for the climbing wall, for Tue nights, so maybe we have enough now!

[RedLeader]

Yep, Billy Backpack wants to do it too so we could have plenty.

I don't think there's a limit to group size.
