Sydney Social Climbers is a group of social climbing enthusiasts who also enjoy a beer and a chat. We meet every Monday 6pm, at the Blochaus Marrickville climbing gym. Come find us next to the couches near the table tennis area! **What is Bouldering**? Bouldering is rock climbing without ropes or harnesses. The challenge is to climb short but tricky routes using balance, technique, and strength. It's a high-intensity exercise that strengthens many of the major muscles of the body, and in particular your core, back, shoulders, arms, hands, and grip. It can also help improve your sport climbing technique. Bouldering routes are set for beginners up to advanced climbers. Whether it's your first time, you have not climbed in ages, or you are a seasoned professional, a good time is guaranteed - we welcome everyone of all levels! **Cost**: * No meetup charge, only gym charges as below: * Gym entry is $23 (discounted entry!) * Shoe rental is $7 * See more pricing and membership information on their website: [https://syd.blochaus.com.au/pricing/](https://syd.blochaus.com.au/pricing/) **What to bring / wear:** Clothes comfortable for exercising Climbing shoes if you own a pair, otherwise you can rent at the gym **Schedule** 6PM - 6:10PM - Meet and Greet (At couches next to the table tennis area) 6:10PM - 8:10PM - Climbing 8:10PM - 8:20PM - Regroup at couches and leave for Pub 8:20PM Onwards - Eat / Drink at Vic on the Park **Disclaimer**: Your safety is your own responsibility while climbing.
