Hey all climbers in Singapore, theres already barely enough places to climb, maybe we could exchange school training sessions? exposing us all to the walls at diff. schools?

How open are the schools to outsiders climbing? Would really love to try the various walls in Singapore.
I work at Planet Fitness, Great World City, and we have a 2 lane wall as well as a training board to help build finger grip and focus on lateral movement. Unfortunately, it is only open to members of the gym

I'm from AJC and we have an enterprise wall here.. but the school is rather conservative.. guess can't open it to outsider. heard that TJC will open their wall on their fun fair or open house... dunno when also..... and I have a lobang from an organization called SYFC... they have a broad wall there... haven't try though, can contact Ronica at ronicachua@hotmail.com

Wee! I wanna climb at American School too!
Hang_man: The place you're talking about, the one at Geylang. I do know about that place.. I usually climb there!
Hmm.. Pay money? I dont! hee! I go at night... So I guess it's different.. Yupperz.. maybe you guys could make your way down there.. Not bad..

hey hang,
I'll try and ask my buds at the american school if they'd allow outsiders climb there.. It might be a bit difficult and might take some time, but I'm sure that I can get something(hopefully)..
And any of yougugys heading north to malaysia... I'm spending my summer at malaysia, as in I'm in malaysia right now...

Haha! Yupyup! that's right.. I climb for free! It's generally under Wilderness Associates. You know?
Yupperz.. I agree.. OBS rockwalls are easy. I just came back from a 5day OBS camp in June. From my point of view, going for 5days in OBS not much kick. Not to put OBS down at all, but seriously lah.. Not much.. Guess it's because i've got more background than the rest of the newbies!
