HO-FO

The HOFO IS BACK!

For this year’s big Redpoint event, we’ve listened to what people want and we’re very happy to announce the return of the HOFO (Hands off, Feet off). This is a really fun and somewhat mad event format that we have run in previous years and involves loads of hands free slab climbing, campus challenges and some crazy swinging/running madness! The event will be run across the whole centre (except the blue room). The Centre will only be open to event participants (and those watching), pre booked youth sessions and Crazy Climb. Participants can only book onto one of the comps, if you are under the age of 16 but would like to register for the adult Open comp, this is okay, just note that you can’t register to both! We don’t have the most parking spaces in the world, so try and walk or lift share where possible.  You can also get a bus, or train to the near by Parson Street station.

Here’s a little poem that best describes the event:

I do like to 

climb hands free.

I do like to 

swing with glee.

I do like to

Campus blocs.

I do like to 

send in socks.
