Comment/Reply - Msg Kirsty MitchellJust had one lesson, but have always had a secret desire to do climbing, and absolutely loved it! Unfotunately, I dont know anyone else who wants to do it, so I'm looking for others who could put up with a novice!

- Nick Page - I'm thinking about starting to make regular visits to the Arch. I normally climb at Craggy, Guildford but Bouldering is not a strong point of mine, so someone to learn and improve with would be great. What days/times do you go?
-
Novice climber only climbed 3 times, at the arch - bouldering. Would love to climb with someone else who has just started or who can put up with my lack of skill on the wall! Look forward to hearing from you. I hope to go at least 2 - 3 times a week.
-
Looking for people to climb with. Not sure how regularly i can make it at the moment. Trying to get back into leading and the outdoors eventually.

ReplyHi I am looking for beginner and intermediate climbers for evenings after 7.30pm and weekends. I tend to climb better with females and like people who dont take it to seriously. I just like to keep fit and have fun. Am very safe.

Hi, I'm a real part-time climber. Used to do quite a bit a couple of years ago, where I taught novices. Looking to get back into it. Am totally flexible (except when im at work 9-5). If you speak french then that would be awesome cause I want to learn!

Looking for a partner in crime for top roping, lead climbing (don't have my own rope I'm afraid) and bouldering, I'm currently at level V3 ish. Am happy to partner someone new to the sport or an expert. Look forward to hearing from you.
