Guest writer Lorna Potter, founder of Bristol Women Climbers, discusses her insights and suggestions in the set up of a women’s climbing group.
Women’s climbing groups are are a great way to empower women and create a community for women to come together and build friendships around their love for climbing.

We're having a social night in Manchester for any climbers, women and men, who'd like to do something social outside the wall. You are welcome to join us in Manchester's groovy Northern Quarter for a drink and socialise. It's a chance to meet new people,...
