Introduction to climbing | Session by UM SPORTS
Do you want to learn how to climb or just try it out once? This is your chance! During this climbing workshop, organized specially for the PhD Academy, you will be introduced to climbing as a sport.
• When: Thursday 23 June, from 17:30 – 19:00
• Where: Climbing Wall University Sports Centre, P. Debyeplein 15
• Wear: Comfortable (sports) clothes and shoes
Climbing is a varied sport with physical as well as mental challenges. Among others, you will learn:
• The basics of safe climbing and securing
• How to safely secure yourself and your climbing partner
• To trust yourself, the material and your climbing partner
Climbing can also help you reduce or cope with fear of heights or trust/control issues. Therefore, this workshop is also a good opportunity to work on that (but you don’t necessarily need to).
At the beginning of the class, the instructors will ask you what your goal is, so they can focus on that goal. Take this opportunity to explore the Climbing Wall at the University Sports Centre!
