• About Les Rock

    Formed in September, 2007, Les Rock is a social indoor/outdoor rockclimbing network for lesbians, open to all, in and around Melbourne. The aim is to meet like minded people who enjoy climbing.

    We meet weekly on Monday evenings alternating rock climbing, at Hardrock Indoor Rockclimbing Gym, cnr Franklin and Swanston Streets, Melbourne CBD, and bouldering, at the Lactic Factory, 1 Studley Street off Hoddle Street in Abbotsford.

    The network is open to all with any skill level, ranging from beginners to advanced.

    We generally climb for approximately two hours and we always head out for a friendly drink/dinner afterwards to a neighbouring cafe or pub.

    For more information about Les Rock, don't hesitate to send an email to les.rock@yahoo.com.au

Midsumma events 2012:-)

Here comes another year of fun rock climbing activities! Call to all climbers, keen beginners or those just curious to try climbing and have fun with us!

This year we are hosting 2 climbing sessions at the Hardrock city gym and one climbing session at the Hardrock Nunawading gym to have more variety in our climbing options. Both these gyms are easy to access by public transport. After our climbs, we will head to the pub for some friendly drinks and dinner.

This year, Les Rock will sponsor some of the entrance cost to make it more accessible to all. There will be a unique price of $15 pp at the door, or $17 if you book online to secure your place. This will include harness and shoe hire. (Normal Hardrock entrance price is $30). Places will be limited to 20 per session. So be quick and book your spot now by purchasing a ticket online or emailing us at: les.rock@yahoo.com.au!

Finally, QSAM is also organising a sport day event during Midsumma, where Les Rock will take part of it by organising a Bouldering session at the Bunley tunnel bouldering walls. See details below for our schedule, please contact us for some info at les.rock@yahoo.com.au

Climbing on Monday nights

Hi All,

After some discussion and feedback, this year we decided to climb every Monday nights, alternating Climbing and Bouldering. This means that it’s easier to remember and that you can do something else every other nights. In addition, if people are interested in climbing extra nights either Thursdays or Fridays for example – just use the forum or facebook to discuss and invite people.

See you as many of you on Monday!

Happy climb:-)

New Forum page!

Hi all,

As Les Rock is a social network for lesbian climbers – I have just created a forum page so that you can now connect with fellow Les rock climbers to organise some climbs outside the regular climbing nights, social events, outdoor activities. It’s up to you so go for it!

Happy climb tonight:-)
