25.01.2022 This weekend, the CIRC Rock Squad is heading off to Sydney to compete in the 2020 ACT/NSW Boulder Titles. We're so thankful for the opportunity for our kids to compete in a year where we weren't even sure if the gym would be opening its doors again. We wish all members of Rock Squad and their coaches, Kale McCauley and Campbell Miller, best of luck in the competition, and hope that it's a grand experience for all regardless of who's on the podium at the end. #climbCIRC

23.01.2022 Yes, we will be open on Labour Day! Come climb with us from 11am-5pm at both of our gyms on Monday, October 5th. #climbCIRC We are only taking bookings for groups of 10 or more people. You are welcome to just show up for a casual visit - but we recommend calling ahead to check our capacity. https://www.canberrarockclimbing.com.au/contact-us/

23.01.2022 For those attending our 2020 Squad Competition this weekend: did you know that the competition schedule has changed? Due to a high number of registrations, we opened a second time slot for our Geckos, and this has bumped some of the other categories around. Take a look at the finalised schedule and information for this Sunday on our website: https://www.canberrarockclimbing.com.au/circ-to-host-2020-/

23.01.2022 The most frequently asked question we're getting at the moment is, "Do I need to make a booking?" We are currently only taking bookings for groups of 10 or more people. If your group is smaller than that, you're welcome to just show up, no booking required. As the ACT is still in Stage 4 of restrictions, we are back to full capacity, which means there's plenty of space for everyone. The only time we need a booking for groups smaller than 10 is if you're planning a party and ...need to reserve tables. https://www.canberrarockclimbing.com.au//group-booking-in/ See more

22.01.2022 Congratulations and well done to everyone who competed in the 2020 NSW/ACT Boulder Titles, and thank you to everyone who made it possible. We are so proud that some of our own climbers made podiums and ranked for the ACT. A special congratulations to Sam Inglis, who is a member of our Rock Squad. He came second overall in the Junior Male category and 1st for the ACT. You can view the full competition results here: https://bit.ly/3fClf7F... Thank you Paul Strecker for these amazing photos.

21.01.2022 We have a large school group of 83 people coming into Mitchell tonight from 7:45pm-9:30pm. The gym will be very busy, and our maximum capacity is 100 people, so there will be limited spaces. If you're keen for a climb this evening, we recommend heading over to Hume. https://www.canberrarockclimbing.com.au/book/week-schedule/

21.01.2022 We will be returning to normal hours this Monday, October 12th as listed below. #climbCIRC And don't forget, squads are back on! We're looking forward to our Term 4 classes. Our maximum capacity is still 55 people at both of our gyms. We are only taking bookings for groups of 10 or more.

21.01.2022 We have spots available in our Term 1 Rock Rats program at Hume! Rock Rats is a coached, 10-week climbing program for children 9 years old and younger. Term 1 will begin February 1st. The cost is $220, which includes one training session per week, as well as full-access membership to both of our gyms with gear hire, so your kids can climb at our gyms as much as they like outside of class. During their training sessions, the kids will climb in groups of four with one of our co...aches, learn climbing techniques, and build strength and confidence on the wall. Before enrolling, please understand that this is 10-week commitment, and regular attendance is important. The program will cost $220 whether you attend all 10 training sessions or just a couple. We do not do come-and-try sessions. If you're unsure of whether your child will enjoy rock climbing, we recommend bringing them in for a casual visit before you enrol them. To enquire about available class times and how to enrol, please contact our Hume gym at 02 6260 1101 or [email protected] You can read more about our Rock Rats program here: https://www.canberrarockclimbing.com.au//group-training-s/

18.01.2022 Canberra Indoor Rock Climbing's 2020 Squad Competition took place on Sunday, November 22nd. This competition was open only to members of our climbing squads, and these are photos from the Rock Squad category. Rock Squad is our elite climbing squad that represents CIRC on a state and national level. Due to COVID, there were few opportunities for them to compete these year, and we loved watching the enthusiasm they brought to the Squad Comp. Congratulations to the winners and everyone who attended - stay tuned for more photos from other categories coming soon. Photos by Faith Meckley, podium photos by Faith McCulloch

16.01.2022 Happy #NAIDOCWeek! This week is dedicated to celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It's as important as ever to remember that when we climb outdoors, we climb on Aboriginal land, and taking care of the areas we climb in is crucial for our continued access to it. We thought it would be a good time to re-post these lovely "Access is no Accident" graphics from CliffCare. Respect, love, and care for our crags ...
