    I am looking for a partner or group of people to climb with regularly (once a week) as I want to get back into climbing after having lived outside of the UK for four years. Although I did do some climbing during some of that time I am out of practice. I … ...

      Hi Jordana I'm not looking for a partner but just to let you know; I think the Arch has closed now because of the massive construction project at London Bridge. I think the "Biscuit Factory" near Bermondsey Underground station is run by the same people; I have been there and I think you'll like it. Hope you find someone soon.

      Thanks for the info Roger, I think I got confused and thought they were the same place as the "Biscuit Factory" is owned by the same people who ran the Arch will edit my partner request.

    Did a couple circuits at the original Arch, which is a completely different feel to the Biscuit Factory. The original on Bermindsey Street is scruffy, close, claustrophobic, in somewhat rough shape. Chaulk dust thick in the air. Impressed by the long tr ...

    Very satisfying, poetic routes. Proves a gym can be only bouldering and really rock. Kudos to Christopher Burton for reccommending it, and Welcoming me. Had a great time. (actually the abve refers to the Arch at the Biscuit Factory)

    Hi, I've recently got into climbing in the past year and have mainly bouldered as it was closest to where I used to live. I've done a bit of top rope and would love to do more. My visits have been pretty sporadic (and so still consider myself a beginner) … ...

      Hi Emily, I climbed at Westway for a few months and then have been out of it for a year. I've just come back from a winter climbing course with a renewed sense of enthusiasm, looking to get started again. I used to climb 5s badly, just hoping to get off the floor at the moment. Competent top rope belayer, looking for two evenings a week if possible, maybe some weekends too. Let me know if you're keen to try it out Gary

    Looking for someone to climb with regularly at the Arch, can be flexible (ish) about timing around the working day. I used to climb alot, but haven't done it for ages, so probably count as a beginner.

    Well worn to the point of some of the foot holds rocking that slippery shine. Despite all that bouldering here (during the mornings) is a lot of fun thanks to the creative routes and entry price.

    Cool little bouldering-only gym. There are four rooms with a good range of graded problems. There is also a dedicated traversing section and a cool tunnel.

    This place gets some seriously heavy use, and it's easy to see why. Friendly atmosphere and some GREAT problems.
