On Thursday, 30th October, Awesome Walls Dublin and Cork were glowing – literally. Our (soon-to-be annual) UV Climbing Nights burst into life with a riot of colour, fancy dress, and all-round good vibes. As always, our incredible indoor climbing community showed up in style.
From neon chalk to wild costumes, the atmosphere was electric. Climbers of all levels got involved, lighting up the walls with everything from glowing skeletons and space explorers to fluorescent bananas (yes, really). The creativity and energy on display proved once again that bouldering and roped climbing can be as fun and expressive as they are challenging.
But the real magic of the UV climbing nights came from the people. Whether you were projecting hard boulders, cheering on your friends, or just soaking up the atmosphere, the sense of connection was unmistakable. Events like this remind us how lucky we are to have such an enthusiastic, supportive, and brilliantly fun group of climbers at both centres.
Thanks to all of you!
A huge shout-out goes to our phenomenal Awesome Walls staff, whose hard work and planning made the night run seamlessly. From the route setters who prepped glowing problems, to the reception teams decked out in fancy dress, to everyone who stayed late to make it happen – thank you. Your effort is what turns a good event into a great one.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped light up the walls. We can’t wait to do it all again next year. If you missed out, don’t worry – UV Night will be back, brighter than ever. Start planning those outfits now and get ready to experience one of the most exciting climbing events in Ireland.
