Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Great bouldering session at Surrey Summit today. Generally lower walls than ours but harder in terms of overhang and holds. A very small child got stuck right at the top of the top ropes for about 20 mins and was very vocal about it.

Sounds good Linds.

Always nice to try somewhere else.

Is it wrong that it amuses me when that happens with small people?

I was belaying a friend's niece a few weeks ago and in the end we had to send big sis up the rope next to her to hold her hand so she'd come down

They're lovely kids.

I always go with them when they come up so they can have more turns.

Me and my climbing buddy belay whilst their mum watches the other bouldering.

Sadly they don't have a wall near them so only get to go when visiting their Aunt
