They have a really good mix of routes for all abilities. Sadly after 8 hours paddling yesterday I didn’t have much in the tank so we only managed an hour top roping and half hour bouldering. We are determined to get back soon.

halfpint Nov 2018 2:35pm, 3 Nov 2018 26,799 posts	Quote Pin halfpint Just back from the climbing wall. QP had his first coaching session. The coach works with the Scotland youth squad so he must be fairly good. I am hoping my climbing will improve as well. I was bouldering but loitered at points throughout the session to listen in. Straight arms, use your whole foot, close to the wall is what I have learned so far.

Crystal Palace has a climbing wall and their next beginners' session is on 18th February and costs a tenner for 2 hrs. Seems reasonable to me. So, I'm 52 with osteoporosis and want to increase my upper and core body strength. Is this a good idea?

halfpint of mulled cider Dec 2018 6:09pm, 30 Dec 2018 27,230 posts	Quote Pin halfpint of mulled cider I can't comment in relation to osteoporosis but I find climbing is one of the best full body work outs. Great for core, balance, upper body and everything in between. It exercises the mind as well as there is a lot of problem solving involved. Climbing walls are quite sociable as well and we've found a wee community through it.
