Session intent (what to expect) Join us on our first mountaineering technical climb experience, where we introduce and inspire aspiring mountaineers to attain the Singapore National Climbing Standards (Level 1) certification that will be conducted in the upcoming Recess Week!

Freshmores will get exposed first-hand to top rope climbing, an essential mountaineering skill, under the guidance of certified senior EXCO members. Through this session, Freshies will learn basic climbing and belaying techniques and develop an interest in adventuring and mountaineering. Persevere and challenge yourself to make it to the top of the wall. As night falls, we will embark on a basic astronomy navigation course where you will gain hands-on experience in charting stars!

No pre-requisite knowledge or skillset is required.

Hi @mingliang17 The funding is rejected as the cost is too high. The average funding required is around $100. Please repropose with a lower funding required thank you!

Hi @mingliang17 as discussed, unfortunately as the event is not held in sutd and the amount is too expensive per pax, student admin has decided to reject it. I am really sorry as we have tried to fight for you.

If there are anything we can do to help please let us know.

@ExtremelySunnyYK It's not approved right?

[mingliang17]

Hello, are there any updates? @caramelmelmel @ExtremelySunnyYK

[jolow99]

Dear @mingliang17,

Unfortunately, OSL has rejected your multiple proposals as they want to be fair to other Fifth Rows who did not get the chance to make changes to their proposals. We have tried our best to fight for your case, but as warned earlier about the budget being highly unlikely to be approved, OSL was not too pleased about it.

Additionally, our original deadline for event submissions was on 12 Aug and getting a venue for you would not be possible as well.

I would like to check if your team will still be conducting a Zoom intro session as well? Wishing your team all the best!

[caramelmelmel]

@mingliang17 (cc: @jolow99) have duly noted about this. Hence, this may not fall into our calendar

[mingliang17]

Hi, thanks for replying. Think its better if we just manage the online session ourselves
