ClimbUnity is non-profit initiative by 3RD ROCK to increase the diversity within climbing. We offer free coached climbing sessions to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic participants.
Our goal is to expand the climbing community, to make it more diverse, and to make it somewhere that everyone can see someone like themselves, and can feel part of something bigger and most importantly, have fun :)
The programme is open to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnics participants aged 8 or over.
Gender exclusive sessions will be available as well as mixed, please let us know your preference.
These sessions are completely free. We have arranged free wall entry and shoe hire with the venue, and our coaches will be giving you their best advice completely free as well
First session is planned for the beginning of April 21 (post lockdown), COVID dependent. Signup below to be notified for the exact date.
Nope, none at all. We will give you all the information and knowledge you need while on our sessions. No previous experience of any kind is required to take part.
Our sessions are offered at a variety of venues and cities across England. If you would like to check availability for a region or city please contact us via community@my3rdrock.com
These sessions will last for an hour and a half, but there is no need to stop there. Once you are finished the session, you will be a fully registered climber and will have the ability to continue on your own or come back any other time.
Climbing is much like the gym, all you need is some flexible and comfortable clothing. However, It can get quite cold so be sure to bring plenty of layers! The wall surfaces can be quite rough so avoid any thin tearable materials and please remove all jewelry before starting the session.
