This is our first bouldering taster of the year so come along if you're new, want to meet some of the club and give climbing a go.

This is our first bouldering taster of the year so come along if you're new, want to meet some of the club and give climbing a go - come along! It's a great opportunity to meet some new faces and get involved in our club. TCA (The Climbing Academy) is one of three main bouldering gyms in Bristol - and a fan favourite among the club. 

There will be 10 groups of 10 arriving at TCA at 20-minute intervals. This is to allow for the TCA staff to be able to process everyone's registration and not create a bottleneck at the desk.

You must book your session in advance and you must complete the waiver attached to the booking link below before you arrive at TCA: https://app.rockgympro.com/b/?bo=12ea47011ff54860bec9be78833c53ae

Once you've booked your session and completed the waiver please let us know which session you are coming to by completing our sign up.

Each group will be guided to TCA from campus by a member of the club, meeting at the bottom of the stairs down to the lake across from the library. Please check the table below for what time each group will be leaving campus, and ensure that you are at the meeting point beforehand. 

If you are not living on campus, you are welcome to meet the specified train at Bath Spa or Oldfield Park - please be aware that only 3 of the trains are stopping at Oldfield Park, so ensure you are booking onto the relevant sessions. 

Once you're at TCA, you are welcome to stay for as long as you'd like. There will be committee members on hand to help you out if you've never been climbing before or you're looking for some extra tips to bump up your grade!
