Welcome to the NUMC homepage. Here you can find details about our Pulse climbing nights, gear hire, memberships, and communications. We look forward to taking you on epic adventures!

The Newcastle University Mountaineering Club is a network of adventure-minded people who love nature, the outdoors, and adventure sports! NUMC facilitates this passion, providing climbing, caving, bushwalking and camping trips, as well as seasonal canyoning trips and social BBQ nights. We also provide a weekly climbing night for our members, which will this year take place at Pulse Climbing Gym in Adamstown on Monday nights, and provide a networking opportunity with other passionate mountaineers. 

Pulse Climbing Nights

Each Monday at Pulse Adamstown we run climbing sessions between 5:30-7:30 & 7:30 – 9:30. Tickets are free through the events page and gives you access to the best bouldering and top roping walls in Newy. Log in at 8pm each Thursday to grab your ticket. There are 30 tickets available for each session but get in fast, they sell out quickly!
If you’re new to the club and are looking for a climbing partner or someone to show you the ropes, hit up our secretary Kenz Bailey or our VP Matt Moss. You can find us on messenger or text us through the club Instagam.

Memberships

Our membership fee is $55 which includes access to all events including free climbing on Monday nights during the Uni semester - an absolute bargain considering it's usually $20 per climbing session.
The membership runs from Feb-Feb each year.
