This is to alert people of the rock climbing events that Les Rock is organising.
Our popular Midsumma events are back again for the 7th consecutive year, where our experienced climbers will literally show you the ropes. Conveniently located in the CBD, all you need is a sense of adventure, Hardrock climbing gym will provide the rest. After our climbs, we socialise further over some food and drinks close by…
On Tuesday 2nd December Les Rockers and their friends got together for the first ever trivia fundraising night. Hosted by the Dan O’Connell Hotel in Carlton, more than 50 people came to test their brain power and dig deep for Les Rock. We were raising money for our annual Midsumma climbs. To be part of…
Quite a few firsts were achieved when Les Rock took a trip out to Arapiles on the weekend of 9-10 May. It was a the first time to Arapiles for a few, and the first time outdoors for a couple. The more experienced members of the group were happy to explain the finer points of…
Did you know that Arapiles rearranged spells Sara P lie? It’s true. I’m not lying… It’s also spells ape’s lair. And Lara’s pie. And sale pair. Buy one, get one free. No doubt such exciting anagram games will not feature at all on our upcoming weekend away because we’ll be too busy climbing! May 8&9…
The annual Melbourne Pride March was held on Feb 2 and Les Rock took part for the third year running. Braving temperatures into the 40s, the girls (and our friendly bloke) strolled down Fitzroy Street in St Kilda, complete with rock climbing harnesses. Here are some pictures from the day.
It seems the climbing gods conspired against us. First the Grampians were ruled out because of bushfires, then 42 degrees C was predicted for the weekend. No way we were climbing in that! So a last minute change of plans resulted in our going to Wilsons Promontory for the weekend. Saturday was as good a…
We’re heading to the Grampians Arapilies on Feb 7-9th. The plan was to do some climbing around the Summerday Valley area. But recent fires have made the area off limits.But we are still keen to climb! So the plan has switched to the Arapiles. Visit our Facebook page (email les.rock@yahoo.com.au to be added) where all…
We held another very successful Midsumma climb on Monday with around 20 people joining in the fun. The climbing gym was so populated with Les Rockers (and others) you could barely get a rope! Afterwards we had dinner at the Queensberry, where we took over the entire back room. Here we all are BEFORE the…
We had a great turn-out for our first annual Midsumma climb, thanks in part to a team of Roller Derby girls who traded wheels for ropes. Despite sweltering in the crazy Melbourne heatwave, we managed to learn how to tie in safely and how to belay and everyone got to the top at least once!…
This Friday night we are having a very special, exciting and unique event! We are calling out all the single girls, who like dating girls, to come and try climbing as part of our speed/dating climbing night! This will be heaps of fun and give you an opportunity to meet lots of new people while…
