We are excited to announce the creation of the CERN Climbing Club, or CEC!

After an incredibly successful sign-up event on the 13th of September, there are already more than 80 members of this brand-new club.

The goals of the CEC are to:

• Coordinate evening meet-ups at local climbing gyms;

• Negotiate discounts at local climbing gyms;

• Organise training courses to be run by local gyms or other industry professionals;

• Maintain a library of topos and guidebooks;

• Set up a small training space with hang-boards, pull-up bars, etc;

• Run social events like climbing-themed film nights.

Meet-ups at local bouldering gyms are already a huge success, with a fantastic CERN turnout at Cortigrimpe in St-Genis, Totem Meyrin and Pan Structure in Vernier (see the CEC website for an up-to-date schedule).

If you are already a climber, used to climb but haven’t done it for a few years, or have never climbed and would like to start – please join us! Membership costs 20 CHF per year and memberships paid now will be valid until the end of 2023.
