Wednesday Social
Are you stuck without a partner?
Have you just done an Intro course and need a bit of extra help?
Maybe you haven't climbed in a while and could do with some reminders?
Just feeling sociable?
Every week at Transition you can now come and join the in the Wednesday Social. Just turn up between 6:30 - 7pm, go to the balcony above the climbing wall where one of our very friendly instructors (this week it's Pete) will help sort you out into groups & pairs for climbing.
After 7pm we go down to the wall and get climbing with help from staff - find out which are the latest new routes, get some technique tips and perhaps a few safety reminders.
This doesn't cost any extra - just turn up and register at reception as normal. No booking required, the only proviso is that you must already be a registered climber here at Transition - or a novice being signed in for the night.
Remember - you can turn up on your own and we'll do our best to match you up for a climb.
We hope to see you soon!

Wild Weekend Fund-raiser
Transition Extreme are facilitating a fund-raising weekend on the 19th and 20th June. The aim for participants is to climb the height of their chosen category (Graham, Corbett or Munro) through rock climbing. The summer Solstice is on the 21st June so the weekend will give plenty of time and hopefully some amazing scenery to get climbing in!
You can take part at local crags if you only climb single pitch venues or head out to the hills to climb on some big mountain routes anywhere you like in the country. There is no instruction offered so if you don't know what you're doing but still want to take part then you can team up with other climbers.
You will have 48hours from 00:01 on Saturday 19th to 00:00 on Sunday 20th to complete the challenges.
The height challenges are:
- Climb the height of the tallest Graham: Beinn Talaidh, 761m,
- Climb the height of the tallest Corbett: Beinn Dearg, 914m, Torridon, NG89536082
- Climb the height of the tallest Munro: Ben Nevis, 1344m,
There are also some difficulty challenges for you to have a go at. To complete these you must climb all your routes throughout the weekend within a certain grade range. These categories are:
- Porta Ledgers: Moderate to Hard Severe
- Winers, Diners & Climbers: Severe to Hard Very Severe (HVS)
- Scottish VS: Very Severe to E2
- Nail Biters: E1+
Money raised will go towards helping Transition Extreme as a Scottish charity to better its facilities and fund projects and activities for other charities and organisations that may not otherwise have access to the recreational sports on offer.
For more information contact Duncan: duncan-paterson@transition-extreme.com
Transition Extreme relies on such fund-raising and grants as well as the public 'through the door' trade to continue to be sustainable.
