London Indoor Climbing Evening - experienced climbers

Come and join OutdoorLads at The Castle Climbing Centre! The Castle is the 'premier climbing centre' in South East England, constructed within a massive Victorian pumping station it really does look like a castle. There are 450 routes over 95 lines set across 1000 metres of wall and with a range of slabs, cracks, roofs, off-widths, stepped roofs and long overhangs there really is something for every level of climber.

This event is for members who are deemed to be competent climbers and do not require a guided session. All members that fulfil this criteria are welcome to come along to any of the sessions.

To come along, you will need to register via the event page, and to climb you will need to pay an entry fee directly to the centre when you arrive. For entry fee prices at the centre go to: www.castle-climbing.co.uk/admission-membership.

If you have not been to the centre before you can save time by registering online. Go to www.castle-climbing.co.uk/online-registration and select the Unsupervised Climbing/Bouldering form and complete the details. When you get to the centre all the details should be there on the system.

For your first time climbing with us, especially if you are a novice climber and think you need a guided session, please contact the event leader in advance to let him know what your skills and experience are.

It is important that all members sign up through the event page to make sure the event leader has all information of the members attending.

DO I NEED A GUIDED SESSION?

If you can answer Yes to the following three questions:

1. Can you tie the correct knots (double figure of 8 and stopper knot)?

2. Can you fit a harness correctly?

3. Can you belay correctly and confidently?

Then you do not need a guided session and can sign up to this event.

If you answer No to any of these questions, then don't worry this means you will need to attend the next beginners/all ability event to have a guided session from the event leader. On the beginner/all ability event they will happily take you through everything you need to know to climb safely.

Please check the event listing pages for the next beginner/all ability event, or use the link: http://odl.to/climbing.
