University of Guelph Climbing ClubAre you interested in CLIMBING! So are we! The University of Guelph Outdoors Club has close ties with our fellow UGCC. Here's some info about their club and what they offer!
The U of G climbing club (UGCC) aims to help climbers become part of the thriving climbing community. UGCC members have a passion for climbing that inspires current and future climbers to explore the vertical (and occasionally horizontal) movement across rock, both indoors and out. UGCC is the perfect place for anyone hoping to advance their rock climbing and welcomes climbers of all skill levels.
As of the summer of 2022, UGCC is focused on outdoor climbing. The club organizes regular bi-weekly climbs at local climbing areas, and the occasional weekend trips when additional travelling is involved; this will extend into the fall semester as the weather permits. UGCC offers occasional “intro to climbing” courses to allow climbers to develop their skills and confidence. Overall, UGCC is a great way to meet some great people and climb some rock!
