Big Depot
Big Depot Climbing Centre, Sharston, Manchester – climbing from around 6pm
This is a drop-in session – feel free to come earlier or turn up later. We welcome competent, experienced lead climbers to any indoor session on any club evening. If it’s your first time meeting the club, please make contact first via the web form on the ‘join KMC’ page and register as a ‘prospective member’.
Please note, as a minimum, you must be signed off as 'competent' to belay at Big Depot by staff before you attend a meet. They do not require you to lead belay, but we may ask that you demonstrate competency to a KMC member when joining the meet. Let us know your level of experience when you get in touch.
Please be aware that KMC club members are not insured on club meets to act as instructors or to engage in formal tuition or competency courses for complete novices to roped climbing. If you are a ‘roped climbing’ novice, please check the Big Depot website for their introductory courses: https://www.depotclimbing.co.uk/big-depot-manchester/, or seek independent training from a registered provider.
Different meets require varying levels of experience and fitness. Please speak to the meet organiser before the meet if you are concerned about any issues with regard to the meet or your ability to participate in the activities proposed. Contact details can be found on the Contact Us page.
If you are considering coming along to a club meet, please read the following:
