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!

    • confused by the question?
    • My point was in response to this:  "The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos."   You could give up your job at sainsbury's and do a councillor's work and be very much better off. Most of these councillors earn this sort of money and still have full time jobs on the side.
    • No. The pool changing rooms are unaffected.   The gym changing rooms (aka dry side) are being refurbished. 
    • Thanks for the link Dave. For clarity, the document shows that he receives the standard basic allowance all councillors get and a Senior Responsibility Allowance commensurate with the post he held. He claims no other allowance or any expenses as far as I can see... which makes me wonder what your point might be?
