hello folks from ballycastle!

[conthebap]

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.
