Warner's Climbing Night - 9th October
Pulse Climbing
17:30 – 21:00
Hey NUMC,
Listen up as climbing nights have had a makeover!
Due to the significant rise of the costs of climbing nights, we have had to add a small charge for each ticket which will be $5. The good news is.... we are now offering two climbing nights and there are now more tickets available!
Our Monday night climbing session will be at Pulse Adamstown and our Wednesday night climbing session will be at Warner's Bay! Both nights have two sessions from 5:30-7:30 & 7:30-9:30.
Each month there will also be a free climbing night out at Maitland!
Important housekeeping rules:
- It's one ticket per person per day. You can buy tickets for both Adamstown and Warners bay.
- Please bring your student card, it's a lot for the staff to process all of you whilst tending to their usual customers so please make their lives easy and bring your student card for easy entry.
- Make sure you have checked in at the front desk
- Put your shoes and harnesses away it's not Pulse's job to clean up after all of us
- NUMC gear is only for NUMC members and Pulse gear comes at a cost
- Everyone must go through a safety briefing before climbing whether that be yourself or your friends. No one but Pulse staff are legally allowed to do briefings and belay technique.
Cancelling tickets:
If you cannot go to your session please message the NUMC group chat or a committee member by 1 pm on the day before the session to recieve a refund. Climbing nights are very popular and it would be a shame to waste a spot.
Keen to see you there!

Skills Workshop - Anchor Cleaning
17:00 – 19:00
Bring your sponges, this week's skill workshop is on anchor cleaning! You've made it to the top of your climb and you need to get down without leaving gear behind, how do you do it? We refer to the process as "cleaning".
A working knowledge of how to safely "clean" a climb is essential to being an independent climber. In this session I'll run through the techniques and what gear is needed so no previous knowledge necessary!
A limited number of tickets are available to keep the class size manageable. If you've got a ticket then meet at the gear shed at 5pm Tuesday!
