Questions and worries you may have:


I don't even know what roped climbing, bouldering and auto-belay mean!

No worries, we will start from scratch, and everything will be explained.


I have a fear of heights, is this course suitable for me?

Absolutely! It is quite normal to have a fear of heights but you'll have to start somewhere if you want to give climbing a go. There is no expectation/pressure for participants get to the top of the walls (or even off the ground). And trust me, the fear will become less and less, the more you practice (if you do it the right way, more about this on the course).


I am worried, I'll embarrass myself!

No need to worry. This is a group of supportive women, and the climbing wall is small and it's likely we'll have it all to ourselves. Yes, climbing can make you feel vulnerable and exposed, but remember, we are all in the same boat. And we'll own it! Besides: Just the fact that you are part of it just shows how brave you are!


I have medical conditions/disabilities

Please do message me, so we can talk it through and see if this activity is suitable for you. Climbing can be beneficial to a range of medical conditions and disabilities when practiced correctly.


If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

    • I've looked up previous media coverage and gather that the school warned pupils of the risk of police 'fines' for assembly under the extant Covid regulations.  Don't you think they might have felt it a duty, to both pupils and parents, to do so?
    • I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/  
    • @first mate not aware of any either. Found this relating to 23-24..  https://services.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-creates/funding/cultural-celebrations-fund?chapter=4 
    • Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2
