im from ballycastle, iv been doing a bit of rock climbing now for a year or so, (mainly indoors), and was just checkin to see if any1 fancies helpin me get some climbing organised- im only a novice and basically just tryin to get out with some experienced people-

[RedLeader]

Welcome.

I fancy trying climbing but there's no way I'd do it outdoors yet. I was in the caves at Cave Hill a few weeks back and was a bit bloody wobbly coming back down again even from no height Maybe some experience on a wall might get my confidence up.

hello jonno,

aye i don't mind doing a bit of climbin up at the wall, i would normally go to the ozone, but im also lookin to get some experience on the big outdoors with like minded people-fairhead on my doorstep...makes me ragin i cant climb it. but yea indoors is a good place to build the oul confidence up!
