Meets and trips

Our members climb all over the UK and abroad (see Where we climb).

In addition to the meets listed below, we go away most weekends with informal trips being organised on the club’s WhatsApp community or at the Brownswood pub in North London.

We also meet at the Castle Climbing Centre in Stoke Newington on Monday evenings (see Become a member).
