Many times I've found myself searching for the keyword 'Germany' in the hope that some other keen UK climbers are also living over here in the flatlands of northern Germany, but to never find any results.
So, thought I'd start my own thread in case anyone else finds themselves in my position and is wanting to hook up with other climbers.
Climbing-wise, there's now a decent indoor scene if that's what you're into, with German bouldering gyms kinda setting the standard for plastic-pulling. Outside options are limited, but where I'm based (Osnabrück) there's some stuff to do on the local soft-sandstone, the downside here is the soft nature of the rock, but nevertheless I've had multiple great sessions over the years in the local forest.
Further afield we've got Ith, Avalonia (special!), Göttingerwald, Harz, Glees/Ettringen and a few other smaller areas.
If anyone finds themselves in this neck of the woods, let me know and I can provide more info on areas, or even better, meet up for a climb!
