Last weekend, @mcgilloutdoorfrosh took some froshies climbing outside, many for the first time! They had a blast trying boulders, top-roping, playing games and eating delicious food.

Former First-Year Rep Cohen and climbing club member Neil organized the trip and created an awesome experience for everyone!

Last weekend was the Championnat Universitaire, the first interuni competition in Quebec in a long time, and it was a blast!

We’ve spent the last 6 months working hard in collaboration with @lemouvespacebloc, @fqme_escaladesportive, @club.sommets and @vplus_club_escalade to put together this event that will hopefully be a launching off point for a competitive climbing circuit at the university level!

We placed an emphasis on making this event inclusive and accessible no matter what level you climb at and we were delighted to see members from all universities enjoying themselves whether they were beginners or experts 💪.

Thank you to the over 10 universities that travelled to participate!!

Our woman’s team (top 3 woman, @teagan_chow, @sovalence, @oh.hanahoney) claimed a 2nd place and McGill climbing member @teagan_chow claims silver and @peterhuclimb ties for bronze on the individual podiums!

A great way to continue supporting climbing in Quebec would be to become a member of the @fqme_escaladesportive! At only $25, advantages include discounts on numerous climbing and outdoors related brands!

Thank you to the sponsors and supporters of the event @rageclimbing, @matelibre , @lacordee and @cotopaxi, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Hope to see you all next year 🫶.
