Bouldering at The Climbing Hangar

UPIC students enter the world of Adventure Sports.

Our ongoing mission is to encourage students to learn skills beyond the classroom. Bouldering is a great way to build fitness and friendship.

We were impressed to see how fast our students signed up! It’s a popular sport in the UK, testing the strength and coordination of each climber. Every student had to choose a wall to climb – and manoeuvre their way to the top.

Many students in the group never climbed before. Some were nervous, starting with easy routes and taking their time. Others launched themselves skyward and crashed down on the mats after losing their grip. Either way, it was a fantastic group activity which brought everyone together.

The more experienced climbers helped the beginners with their technique. There were competitions and several races to the top. A real challenge that kept everyone motivated.

If you’re looking for a fun, social way to meet new people – give bouldering a try!
