Urban climbing
October 14, 2005, 11:12:10 am
Two questions:

1) does anyone know of ANY natural boulder problems in London? In a park somewhere maybe?

2) anyone ever done any urban climbing - i.e. buildering? I'd love to give it a go, but not sure where to start. I'm also a little worried about getting snipered off as a terrorist threat while trying some tricky crux move on the South Bank somewhere.

Any input gratefully received, cheers.

A bunch of us had a really good tree climbing circuit in Greenwich park, when we were working on the Millenium Dome. More pleasant than buildering and less likely to get you shot.

Try Greenwich Park - HRH looks after the bark there admirably and it's more fun than any cellar woody!
Bonjoy wood know more.....if you'll excuse the pun.

EDIT - Oops, he beat me to it!!
