Hello Balance!

This month is all about counterbalance, helping you move up the wall with stability, control, and confidence.

Monday 3rd

Join me in THE DEN at 7:30pm for a 30-minute warm-up and guided session on how to find the balance point with off the wall exercises that help with useful techniques like flagging.

At 8:00pm the session splits:

  • Rope Skills Drop-In (£2.00 booking fee): Join Mel for a one-hour session covering tying-in and belaying skills. Ideal if you’re learning or want to brush up on some skills that might have got a little rusty.
  • Bouldering Option: Not up for ropes? Head to the bouldering rooms to put your new strength skills into practice.

We’re so excited to see you there!
