Boonie Hound Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Right, as promised I've looked up Peterborough climbing wall here: http://www.peterboroughmc.org.uk/ClimbingWall.aspx What I need to know is an idea about who wants to go and when and what they want to do. I suggest an evening in the week - it's open until 10pm. That we may want to have an instructor on hand for those who haven't climbed or for those wanting a refresher. I think we could qualify for a taster session. From the website there seems to be various prices so I'll ring and check. I think this is targetted at everyone from novice to rock monkey - basically we can all have a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewenm Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I would come along, but it's a bit far for me for a weekday evening ☹️ Hope you have fun 72774 miles and driven daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballast Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 This sounds interesting....I don't climb but Powderpuff used to and wants to get back into it..... He may need a couple of months training 😬 For the record....like Ewenm... a weekend would be better....a bit far from Warwick in an evening....

Hibster. Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Without Spandex, yikes, does that mean we will be able to see the inner man ???? I'd rather see the spandex than fleshy bits & pieces 😳 Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Birtwisle Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I will bring an assortment of spandex for all to wear 😬 I am up for this, any eve is good for me. I was thinking of digging out my chalk bag and going bouldering this weekend anyway, just to see if I still had any strength left in my fingers ❗ You are a fine chap Boonster Alex S713UMY 1.8K Viper Blue and Spandex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderpuff Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Sounds like the shed is inhabited with a load of ex-climbers I used to climb around French 6c / 7a (on a good day)...now it would be more like 'where's my ladder please' especially as I would consider myself vertically challenged to be a climber (read as short 😳 The name's Puff, Powder Puff N7XTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Nuts Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Oooh oooh oooh - mememememememememememe! I used to be cr*p so will now be cr*pper! 5a was about my limit, I was dragged up (I think) an E1 5c (does that sound about right?) once. And I mean dragged! Unlikely to be able to get my booties on any more as my tootsies are too podgey so will most likely be after some simple stuff I can do in trainers on the first few outings. Evenings or weekends are good for me although I'm more likely to be able to find time in the evenings. 😬 Guy NN 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderpuff Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 do we have active Volcanoes near by Steve, are you planning on sacrificing a virgin or something .....you may find even fewer of those round here than the volcanoes 😳 The name's Puff, Powder Puff N7XTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
