NOTE: This event is for those with little or no climbing experience. If you have climbing gear and your belay check, consider signing up for the Visit the Some Experience Necessary Event.

Wanna add in a fun workout to your fall/winter "keep in shape" plans? Look no further. Join us at the EOC monthly climbing night.

Vertically Inclined Rock Gym (VIRG) is a great indoor rock gym with plenty of climbing space. VIRG is equipped with top rope systems, lead climb areas and pulleys. VIRG has plenty of bouldering space for those not ready for ropes.

Event cost includes general introduction to climbing, basic instruction and all requisite gear.

Following some basic instruction, you will pair off to climb the walls on your own. No previous experience is necessary as you will receive instruction on how to use some of the top ropes.

Please note: you will not have enough knowledge after this introduction to climb on all of the ropes in the climbing gym and the VIRG staff will be there to conduct safety checks prior to you climbing selected ropes.

Required Items to Bring:
$15 cash for the cost of the event.
Thin socks to wear with the rental climbing shoes.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

A lock for the change room lockers.
Camera
Water bottle
Loose clothing, appropriate for climbing - no short shorts or really baggy workout clothing.
