Outdoor Bouldering Weekend
This is it: An awesome weekend of bouldering & camping, from the 12th to the 14th of July.
Note bene:
- We can unfortunately only take along a limited number of people in this trip, so please only sign up if you are sure you can & want to go, also no matter the weather.
- Also, with respect to the expected popularity: there will also be another lead-climbing weekend organised around the same period. So if that is also/more your cup of tea, you might want to hold out for that one and give others a shot at this! ;)
- We have a form for you to fill out, linked in the e-mail you will receive upon registering, please fill it out so we can make a good match of experience & cars!
- Outdoor climbing is significantly different from indoor climbing and quite a bit harder. It is fine if you've never climbed outdoors yet (many of us haven't), but we do require at least indoor bouldering experience and confidence in your own capabilities and even more importantly in your own limits. We will not be able to guarantee your personal safety, this event is at your own risk. Everyone should have an appropriate insurance (make sure it covers outdoor rock climbing-type activities), this is your own responsibility.
Location & Time:
We have decided to go to Avalonia, Germany, which is approximately a 3 hour drive or 4 hour train ride away. Because of the location, the intention is to arrive on Friday evening at the camping site. We then have a full Saturday for climbing shenanigans and can say our farewells to the rocks Sunday afternoon without haste.
Cost:
The cost of this trip are limited, mainly camping fees and food, excluding travel costs. We budgetted this out to around €80, but it could turn out to change a bit after the event. We will settle this based on recalculation after the event has taken place.
Gear:
Special gear you will need to bring:
- Climbing shoes: If you don't have your own, you can see if you could rent them for a weekend or lend them from a friend.
- Camping gear: Tent (or share a tent with someone else on the trip 😏), sleeping bag, mattress, etc.
- Other items: *soft* brushes, chalk and some pieces of carpet / sturdy rag to wipe your climbing shoes clean before every ascent is needed. Bring at least a rag and a soft brush.
Other stuff we'll arrange:
- Crash pads: We will rent them, but if you have any crash pads be sure to let us know! Depending on the number of cars available, we will request some help from you to transport these to Avalonia.
If you don’t have some of the required things (like shoes or a tent), we will set up a chatgroup with everyone going to figure that stuff out. Especially tents, some people might have a spare to lend”.
Still interested and you are available that weekend? Climb back to the top of the page and top out that register button! 🧗♀️

In case you cannot join, after the registration list has closed, it will be your responsibility to find someone willing to take your spot.
