Climbing at the Reach

At the Wall

Hi.

Anyone local to the Reach or up for weeknight climbing? I’m only 5 mins away and looking to get down twice a week.

I’ll be up for this on an ad hoc basis. Jess and I were going to aim to go every Wednesday afternoon, but I’d be happy to meet up for some additional sessions or team up when she’s busy?

Cheers

Hiya, I climb quite a bit down there (also technically a rep for the social club there although I mainly do the Instagram stuff as I tend to work on their club nights) would be happy to climb with you sometimes and introduce you to some of my of the people I know who climb there if not a lot of NLMC members are there regularly.

I’m new to the forum (and not a member yet) but looking for climbing partners for The Reach in Woolwich.

I’ve been climbing for ~15 years, am a competent belayer - I live in Brockley and would be keen to get on the lead walls once every few weeks. Preferably weekday evenings after 7.30pm.

Anyone keen?

Hi @Conor_Cussell,
I am keen until the 17th Feb. I’ll be there Monday, Wednesday, Friday. After that, it will be more of a monthly activity unfortunately.

Can’t be down there today. But still keen on Wednesday. Friday.

Hi Conor,

And hello Tony. I’m local and climbing down there fairly often. Looks like you’ll make plans for tomorrow, shout if you’d like to make plans for next week.

I’m down there with someone on Friday if you want to say hi.

Hi all, I am new here, I haven’t met any if you in person yet but would like to come and meet at a wall soon. Is anyone at the reach this afternoon/this evening? It would be great to meet some of you, I’m hoping to join the group and come to regular meets at mile end and the reach. Thanks, Nina

Hi all,

I caught up and read that there isn’t a regular meet at Mile End on a Wednesday now and The Castle is the place to be Mon-Fri. I will head up there one evening soon!

If anyone is heading down to Mile End or The Reach on a Weds, Thursday or Sunday (sometimes a saturday afternoon) I would be keen to meet up. I’m an experienced belayer for top roping but not for lead climbing.

I’ll be heading to Mile End or The Reach this afternoon for 13:00-15:00 ish, let me know if anyone’s going and wants to say hello.

Hi Nina, hopefully you can join us at the Castle one evening or weekend. You’re correct that there’s no regular meet at Mile End anymore sadly. We do have a few people who climb at the Reach, hopefully one of them will get in touch. It’s worth noting that, in order to join the club, you’ll have to demonstrate competence in lead belaying, so doing a lead belay course is recommended :slight_smile: Cheers

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your message, I appreciate it. I was going to book on to a lead climbing course, I noticed that the one at The castle is twice as long in duration to the one at The Reach. Do you, or anyone else know what the difference is in what they cover? As I type this I realise I can call them and ask, so I’ll do that but it would be interesting to hear from others if they have any insight into this.
