Have a random bucket lying around? Empty Tic-Tac box? Frying pan? Go wild this Social Sunday with our theme: Anything but a Chalk Bag! We mean it–do not bring a chalk bag–let’s see those empty bottles, bucket hats, and crappy boxes. Come climb with us and ditch the bag! We will also be giving free Mate Libre to anyone who brings a not-chalk-bag on a first come, first serve basis! Hope to see you soon 🙂

The bigger the shirt, the bigger the send. The bag

The bigger the shirt, the bigger the send. The baggier the pants, the better the footwork. Wearing oversized clothing while climbing is just a cheat code to climbing harder! This Sunday, wear your biggest shirts, sweaters, pants, or whatever articles of clothing that will give you that signature baggy climber silhouette. (For example, our VP External Zephyr will be wearing a shirt that goes down to his shins!) We hope to see you on the wall drowning in fabrics!

Finally some real rock 🫢
Our Urban Bouldering trip had a number of McGill climbers try some exciting boulders just by the Olympic Stadium! Despite it being many people’s first time outdoors, everyone tried hard, sent big, and thoroughly impressed the execs ⭐️

Keep your eyes peeled for more of these trips!! Our team is always cooking something up for you all >:)

Special thanks to @_shinji_eguchi for the dope shots (1-2)
