The Ford Climbing Club is an employee organization aimed at building an active climbing community where people can grow their knowledge and experience through events and shared information. This club is interested in providing a social venue where people without any prior rock climbing knowledge can learn and where experienced climbers can practice advanced techniques.
We want to create a fun and safe environment for beginner climbers to learn, safely encourage the pursuit of advanced climbing, and provide a way for members to readily share and exchange gear. We will be scheduling weekly meet ups at both Planet Rock gyms to climb and plan to have quarterly volunteer or learning events.
No experience necessary and fear of heights not an excuse =P (many climbers start with a small to large fear of heights, but learn to overcome it as they continue to climb).
Some past/current club events and activities we have done include – closed gym sessions at Planet Rock, club meet ups at both Planet Rocks and Dyno, Happy Hours, Day trips to Mad River Gorge in OH, Ice Climbing at Peabody. We’re always looking for more members so don’t hesitate to send us a message to get plugged in!
