Weekly climbing
The use of the wall costs an additional $25 annually for club members. This helps us offset the large cost of running the wall (currently $1000 per month) in the face of rising hire costs.
Weekly climbing is conducted on the indoor climbing walls at ANU Sport in the Sport and Recreation Centre. Climbers must be ANUMC members and have a current belay pass to use the climbing wall. For new climbers, passes are provided after completing a belay course under supervision of a climbing wall officer. New club members with climbing experience also need to get a belay pass, and are encouraged to come along to belay courses where they can be checked off by a climbing wall officer, even if they don't need to be taught from scratch.
Belay courses are posted on the trip calendar or you can contact the climbing wall officers if there are none available.
The weekly climbing times for 2025 generally are:
Monday
- New Wall 07:30 - 09:00 AM

Before climbing, please double check the booking time against our calendar as posted at the wall or available for download here. A Calendar link is available here.
The Club can negotiate with ANU Sport to open the wall at other times. If you have an idea about opening the wall at a different time please reach out to the head wall officer. We might be able to open the wall for a special event to perform some maintenance, to teach a class or to open a new regular time slot. However, you will need to cover the cost of the wall hire.
Weekly kayaking
Regular social paddles depart from the ANU boatshed on Sullivan’s Creek. These sessions are ideal for developing skills and confidence before participating in weekend trips further afield. Beginner paddlers will be supervised and must be able to swim in order to participate.
Paddlers must bring clothes and shoes that can get wet. Additionally, sun protection and a warm top are also recommended.
Paddling Times
Weekly paddling is advertised each week on the ANUMC calendar. You must register to attend these events. Beginner sessions are open to all, and generally held once a week during semester.
