BSC2022: Castle Inn Sport Climbing (Friday 9.45am)
12 people attending
0 places left
Whether you're an indoor climber wanting to try the real thing outdoors or a seasoned veteran, Castle Inn has something to offer, with a great selection of well protected routes, with a good bunch at the easier end of the scale. For those who haven't done sport climbing before, there will be a quick tutorial session at the start of the event, you just need to be competent at top rope belaying and have a pair of climbing shoes.
We will need to ensure a good balance the number of experienced and novice climbers, so please send me a message with your prior climbing experience and any equipment you will bring (e.g "done lots of indoor top rope climbing, got my own harness")
IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
