Pulse Climbing Night 21 Mar 2022
Pulse Climbing
15:00 – 21:00
Pulse ADAMSTOWN
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO RESERVE TWO TICKETS. ONE PER PERSON ONLY!
Ticket sales will close at 2pm on the day of.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are having to change the way we climb.
For now we have to make sure we do not bring too many people and that we comply with all requests from Pulse staff and the club to ensure everyone's safety.
As such we will be splitting those coming to Pulse social climbing nights into three groups of no more than 20 each. Please get your free ticket to book your spot and please only come at the time you have got a ticket for. If there are too many people Pulse may have to ask some to leave so it is imperative that we all stick to our times. Please only get one ticket and be prepared to have to leave at the end of your allotted session if the gym is busy so that new people can come in.
We ask that you do not attend if:
You are awaiting a COVID-19 test result
You have been in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 7 days
You have been overseas in the last 7 days
You have or have had ANY infectious disease in the last 7 days (dealing with other illnesses increases the risk of having serious complications from COVID-19)
You are immuno-compromised or have contact with anyone who is immuno-compromised
I know some of these may sound harsh but if there is even one positive case because of us climbing will be shut down immediately, do not ruin it for the rest of us!
Additionally we all need to make sure we continue to:
Sanitise our hands between climbs
Sanitise carabiners at every change over
Do not share personal equipment
Cough/sneeze into elbows or preferably a tissue instead of on your hands followed by washing/sanitising the coughed on area immediately
Keep 1.5m away from each other
Comply with limits to how many people in each area (20 in boulder area, 8 upstairs, etc) - these are all labelled
Comply with staff instructions - if you do not you will be asked to leave the gym and possibly the club, this is a serious matter with serious consequences for the safety of individuals, the accountability of the club and Pulse
I look forward to seeing 59 other people there, stay safe, have fun and climb well!

Lets get the NUMC spirit thriving and jiving in Glenrock! We’ve rented out the scout campground for the night, it’ll be a fantastic way to meet new people, make new friends and plan some of your own epic trips with your crews.
The goal is to get as many members as (in)humanly possible. It will be a day and a night of more fun with competitive games of spotlight, social hangs and some good ol’ tunes, if you buy a ticket you can come and go as you please without camping/staying the entire time.
We’ll have a fam dinner and breakfast, camping gear will be available to hire and lifts can be organised. We would love for this to become a yearly/semesterly event so the more friends you rally, the more fun we’ll have! And if you don’t have friends to rally, I can assure that you will after this event!
The site is in Glenrock National Park and literally right next to Burwood beach/leggys (for all you surfy waxheads)
Important deets;
There will be limited tents, mattresses and sleeping bags will be available to hire at the gear shed so get in quick!
We’ll be arriving at the site at 12pm to set up and aiming to leave by 12.30 pm on Sunday.
The scout campsite has a no alcohol ONSITE policy.
Dinner and breakfast is included (vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options available if you let us know!)
Packing-list:
- Warm clothes
- Lunch and snacks for Saturday and Sunday
- Shoes
- Water
- Bowls/plates/utensils
- Mozzie spray and sunscreen
- Hat
- Swimmers (if you’re capable and brave)
- Torch
If you have any questions about the trip please feel free to contact me (Hanna) on 0491120772, Hanna Marie on Facebook or at hannaferguson95@hotmail.com

Canyoning 2022
Mount Wilson
11-02-2022 17:00 – 13-02-2022 19:00
***Postponed 1 week to 11th-13th February***
Get keen for an adrenalin-filled,stunningly gorgeous weekend exploring the Blue Mountains' best canyons!
Subject to work and uni commitments, the vague plan is to head off from the gearshed around 5pm, arriving at the campsite about 8:30, but carpooling and travel arrangements can be sorted closer to the time.
We will be camping at Cathedral Reserve near Mount Wilson Friday and Saturday night before heading back to Newcastle on Sunday evening.
Weather dependent, Saturday will be a day of rockhopping and abseiling down some of the best and most beautiful canyons the Blue Mountains has to offer, including Grand, Serendipity, and Waterdragon. It will be a big day including swimming, several kilometers of hiking, and some steep terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness and confident swimming ability are both essential!
Sunday will be similar, where we roll out of our tents to go canyoning again before heading back to Newy.
All camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats etc.) can be hired from the gearstore, in addition to wetsuits, backpacks and drybags. The club will also provide helmets, harnesses and everything you need to stay safe in a canyon!
We will be stopping for dinner on the road Friday night on the way to the Bluies, and a delicious, hearty club meal will be provided Saturday night. You will be responsible for providing your own breakfast, lunch, and snacks for Saturday and Sunday (ideally things which are individually wrapped and/or you won't mind eating after they've gone soggy courtesy of a swim in a canyon!)
Please keep in mind a training night may be required prior to this trip, and get on those tickets fast! It's first in best dressed and they will go quick!
Get keen for an incredible weekend! If you have any questions feel free to direct them here :)
