Do you love a team challenge? Can your team reach the summit? Join the charity Emmaus Suffolk for “The Big Climb” challenge. This indoor rock climbing day is all about well being and team spirit, mental agility and problem solving (no prior climbing experience or special kit required, safety guidance induction will be given and the “mountains” are all indoors!).
Thirty teams of 5 will compete to be the 'Top of the Mountain!' on Friday 27th September at
Avid Indoor Climbing in Ipswich.
The Big Climb consists of 6 activities (3 bouldering* activities and 3 team building). Each one lasts 20 mins, so in one hour a team will have 1 x bouldering activity, 1 x team building activity, 1 x rest period.
* Bouldering is the term used for indoor climbing

Avid will require all participants to have completed a waiver prior to climbing which will be sent out via email after the closing date of 20th September 2019. All participants will need to climb within our terms and conditions covered in the waiver including no rings including wedding rings, jewellery, earrings and suitable clothing. Avid will provide suitable footwear for climbing but ask that you turn up in trainers.
Entry to the event is dependent upon all participants arriving in time for the safety briefing and induction to climbing. This will include free registration at Avid so that after this event you can return (we think you’ll grow to love this activity as much as we do!).
Climbing is great for both your physical and mental well being, working both your body and mind to their limits.
