About us
We're a very friendly group of LGBTQ+ climbers, based in London but with members across the UK. Our members are into trad, sport, alpine, bouldering, Scottish winter and everything in between. The group is mixed with an equal gender balance. We welcome all LGBTQ+ climbers and their friends to enjoy climbing in a fun and friendly atmosphere and to progress in the sport. We regularly organise outdoor meets and have an exciting trip schedule lined up.More about us
