Welcome rope lovers!

 

Austin Rope Slingers is a volunteer-run and donation-supported peer rope group.

The focus of the group is in-person peer to peer rope education with a 101 level class every week and higher level rope education and rope intensives as requested and offered by members.

Equipment

We have a variety of community resources that can be used while at an Austin Rope Slingers event:

  • Loaner rope for floorwork
  • Safety shears and straps
  • Rope books
  • Reference guides for negotiation

Our labs also usually have suspension rigs offered by the community.

Events

Labs

We host weekly rope labs every Monday in a variety of locations across Austin. Currently, we have community offered venues in south and north Austin city limits. You do not need to show up to a lab with a partner or have pre-requisite knowledge. We welcome all skill levels, abilities, and identities as an inclusive community.

Shindigs / Play Parties

We try to host a rope-focused play party that we call a “shindig” every two months or so. These are places where members of the community can come, socialize, and also play.

Munches

These are social events out in public for people to meet one another and make new friends in a low stakes environment.
