Climbing session
Climbing sessions are open to anyone eligible for SportUni’s sports services and interested in climbing, free of charge. Tekiila instructors are present to ensure that everyone gets to climb and finds suitable loan equipment. You don’t need any prior climbing experience to participate in the climbing sessions.
Climbing sessions are held during the academic year on Wednesdays from 18:00 to 20:00 at Tamppi Arena and/or Bommari. If you want to make sure that an instructor is present, ask in Tekiila’s Telegram group, or contact the board or the climbing session coordinator by email. Especially at Bommari, there is less likely to be an instructor present unless the need for guidance is known in advance.
Climbing meet-ups
We also organize more laid back climbing meet-ups on Mondays and Fridays from 18:00 forward. These meet-ups are meant to increase the climbing opportunities of Tekiila’s members. The meet-ups are usually organized at Tamppi Areena. Unlike in the climbing session, the participants must have sufficient belaying skills for independent climbing, since the presence of Tekiila’s board members is not granted.
Courses
Tekiila organizes multiple courses throughout the academic year in accordance to the demand. More information about the courses can be found here.
Excursions
Throughout the year, Tekiila organizes many excursions outside Tampere. During indoor climbing season the excursions aim mainly to Helsinki climbing centers, however if the weather is suitable the trip can also aim to outdoor boulder and rope climbing rocks. Information about the excursion, amongst all the other things, is distributed through Tekiila’s e-mail list, that you can join from here.
If the excursion is headed to a climbing center, the climber has to have a belaying card or readiness to complete a one. Ask more information for instance in Tekiila’s telegram channel or in the Wednesday climbing session. You can also have an influence on where the excursion will be headed.
Tekiila will give an allowance according to the traveled kilometers for those who drive the participants of the excursion in carpool to the destination and back. The members of Tekiila are prioritized in the excursion sign up.
Climbing tutorials
Tekiila organizes also climbing tutorials for guilds, clubs and other organizations, whose employees and members are in the circle of SportUni. The cost of the tutorials can be inquired from the board.
