• About Les Rock

    Formed in September, 2007, Les Rock is a social indoor/outdoor rockclimbing group for lesbians, open to all, in and around Melbourne.

    The group meets fortnightly on Tuesday evenings at Hardrock Indoor Rockclimbing Gym, cnr Franklin and Swanston Streets, Melbourne CBD.

    The group welcomes new members with any skill level, ranging from beginners to advanced.

    Sessions last for approximately two hours and we frequently head out for a friendly drink afterwards to a neighbouring cafe or pub.

Photos on facebook – check it out!

Dear all,

The photos of our Xmas party, Kayaking day, and more recently Grampians trip are all now posted on our facebook page.

So check out the Les Rock facebook page and become a friend to see the pics!!!

There will be more climbing trips and social events to come:-)

Thanks again for a great weekend!!

New Activities – Bouldering and outdoor climbing

Dear all,

As requested by members we have now introduced some bouldering activities. Bouldering is to climbing what sprint is to running – it is more intense than normal climbing with short technical move to solve. No harness is required as we only climb 2-4m high. Thick mattresses are on the ground to minimise the impact of the falls.

We have recently been bouldering at the Lactic Factory in Abbotsford – a very friendly funky gym with great staff and music!

We are also in the process of organising outdoor climbing in the Grampians/Arapiles around April.

So stay tuned for the updates on dates/activities by joining our mailing list…

In the non rock climbing activities, we are also organising some kayaking on Sun 8th Feb at Fairfield boat house!

See you there:-)

Dear all,

Thanks for coming at our Xmas dinner at the Thai restaurant and Tuff Muff – it was really fun – we had a ball!

During our Xmas dinner we made the decision to change our Monday nights to Tuesday nights…So please have a look at the new Calendar for 2009!
