Climbing (Indoor Bouldering)
Slaughter Climbing Center
Slaughter but now strong and awesome
Slaughter Recreation Center, Edgemont Road, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Hello loves,
I’ll admit, I am a newly minted rock climber. I hesitate even to use that term, as I can barely haul myself up a V1. Skill level aside, I want to celebrate the end(ish) of the semester with some awesome folks! I identify as a women, and feel a bit nervous trying a sport that is historically less representative of all genders/identities. My goal is to create a safe & cozy learning space for people who also don’t have much experience!
Also, if we get tired of climbing I recently learned how to play racquetball. So we have options!!
This is a VERY beginner trip! If you have never gone climbing at Slaughter before, you have to watch the video on the website. Here is the link: https://recsports.virginia.edu/climbing-center
The only thing you need to bring is yourself, socks, and your student ID. Slaughter supplies climbing shoes and chalk!
*This trip is an affinity trip for anyone existing as a woman, trans, or femme, so please only sign up for this trip if you happen to identify with those labels!*
Also, signing up for the trip means other club members can see you are on this trip. If you don’t feel comfortable with that, please send me a text instead! My number is 434-270-4230.
