Climbing

Climbing ⋆
We organise regular rock climbing in London, including indoor and outdoor bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing.
Our climbing group is of mixed ability, with people ranging from complete beginners to more experienced. So even if you’ve never climbed before this is a great group for you!
When do we meet?
We host a bouldering meet-up every 4th Sunday of the month. Our rope climbing meet-ups are every 2nd weekend of the month. Outdoors climbing events happen across the year. Additionally, we plan lots of informal meet-ups within our climbing club WhatsApp chat.
Hikes and Walks
