Monthly Upcoming Events!
Meet Up: UBC Climbing Club
UBC Climbing Club is dedicated to fostering community, growth, and adventure through rock climbing. We bridge the gap between the gym and the crag by hosting regular social events at local Vancouver climbing gyms and facilitating coached or peer-led outdoor trips. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and social environment for climbers of all backgrounds. From total beginners to expert crushers, there's a place for everyone in our community.
The goal of the Progression meet-up is to bring our amazing UBC climbing community together at one of Vancouver's finest gyms. We're hoping for everyone to get to know each other a bit more and send some awesome boulders!

Flock x LNY Dumpling Workshop
Pull up and celebrate Lunar New Year the best way possible: by making dumplings with good people. Dumplings = luck, wealth, and good vibes for the year ahead, so we’re starting things off right.
We’ll show you how to fold dumplings from scratch (no experience needed, truly), hang out, snack, and chat while we cook them up together. It’s hands-on, a little chaotic, very chill—and yes, you’ll eat everything you make.
Come solo, bring a friend, make a new one. Leave with full stomachs, new skills, and hopefully some extra luck for the year ahead ✨Good vibes only. Messy hands encouraged.
Project Summit Valen-Climb
Project Summit is a student-led climbing club founded by SFU students with the goal of making climbing more accessible and building a strong, inclusive community. Our events bring climbers of all levels together to connect, learn, and have fun both on and off the wall.
Valen-Climbs is a Valentine’s-themed climbing social event designed to help people connect comfortably at their own pace. Attendees wear wristbands that indicate their social battery, red for solo climbing, yellow for light conversation, and green for being open to meeting new people, making the event fun, inclusive, and pressure-free for everyone.
