I've been there before, it's alright, was belaying a hefty friend once and when letting her down, swung into the wall

I really want to go but I'm disgustingly useless at about every sport there is.

yeah I've been before and hope to go back soon. It's pretty good even though I'm a bit crap and got a pigtail stuck in the metal loop thing.

my mate (who is considerably lighter than me ) was belaying me when i fell and that caused him to be dragged off his feet and wel crahsed into each other.........ahh i was laughing but he didnt find it funny

i go when i can but cant always make it due to lack of people to belay me......i was looking to see how many folks go as i was thinking about trying to arrange something..................

I've been a member of the climbing centre for years now. I used to be pretty good but i dont go often enough anymore to keep that up

bump.....right anyone fancy this again? I want to get back into this again and lack someone to go with. Im no expert and just do it for a laugh really so pm me anyone who is interested.

cheers.

I really want to, not been for years now

It's something I'd go with someone I already know tho, as I don't just trust anyone to belay me, do you know how much prices are?

That looks well good... i've been meaning to get into this for a bit (trying to expand the sports I do, currently learning to snowboard) - is the £60 introductory course worth it? Anyone done it?
