Bouldering Club 2024

Registration for Term 2 is now open. Space is limited, get in quick.  

The OGHS Climbing Club and Resistance Climbing Gym have teamed up to form the OGHS Bouldering Club. Details are still being sorted and anything stated here is subject to change.

Dates and Times:

Every Friday, meet at the Outdoor Ed shed (by the climbing wall) by 3:15 to get shoes and take roll. We will then walk to Resistance Climbing Gym and have an open bouldering session until 4:30pm.

Coordinate pick-up/departure with your parents/caregivers.

Equipment and clothing:

Shoes and chalk can be borrowed from OGHS for each Friday session.

Wear comfortable and flexible clothing appropriate for climbing. You may either change immediately after school or use the changing rooms at Resistance.

Bring a water bottle and maybe a snack.

Supervision:

There will usually be an OGHS staff member present at the gym until 4:30, but this may not always be possible. You will always be under the supervision of the Climbing Gym staff and expected to follow gym rules. You are welcome to stay as late as you want past 4:30, but an OGHS staff member will not be present.

Cost:

Fees will be charged per term (subject to change).

- Option 1: Fridays only

Terms 1, 2, and 3 will be $95. Term 4 will be $55 (only six weeks).

- Option 2: Fridays plus gym membership.

$155 per term

This will cover the Friday after school session plus allow you unlimited access during any regular staffed hours. Plus this would include the usual benefits of a membership, being 10% off retail purchases, 15% off climbing shoe purchases, a 1/2 price guest pass and a 1/2 price shoe hire ($2.50, rather than $5 per day).

*It is recommended that you have your own shoes if you choose this option. If you do not have your own shoes, you will need to pay the shoe rental fee at Resistance with each visit. It will NOT be charged to the school.

Registration:

Space is limited to a maximum of 10 participants.

To register, fill out the registration form in the Resources section at the top of this page.

You must re-register each term. Registration will open roughly half way through the prior term and will be announced on the Google Classroom. Existing members will be given first opportunity to carry their registration into each subsequent term. Remaining spots will be first in-first served.

You must also fill out two permission forms

• OGHS Climbing Consent Form (not required if you have filled one out for any other climbing activity)
• Resistance Climbing Gym Waiver (only required before your first ever visit)

Note on climbing shoes:

If you have been climbing for a little while and think you will continue to climb, it is highly recommended that you get your own shoes. When buying shoes, talk to a professional to get them fit properly - they should be uncomfortably tight and should be worn with bare feet. Talk to me if you want to know more.

Other Notices:

Notices and updates will be posted on the Climbing and Bouldering Google Classroom. Use the invite link or join using the code (b44z4xv).
