• 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

  1. Hello, am thinking of joining your group, love the indoor rock climbing. Am also thinking of getting my own gear. Is the shop’Bogong’ in melbourne cbd the best place to speak to someone about the different brands, or do you reccomend somewhere else? Cheers bek.
