With a group we went to The Hangout at bayswater, hooked after my first… no probably my third climb when i reached the top. Got a friend thats happy to go with me now regularly but we found the Hangout a little understaffed (one staff member all day) we were in a group of 25 or so and had to wait an hour even though we booked just to get our harnesses, another larger group arrived and people were waiting at the entrance for over an hour just to get in, definatley giving sundays a miss in future!

we are going to try the one in bassendean on friday evening, hopefully not so busy so we can actually get shown what the hell to do! haha but we had fun working out what we could for ourselves!

can anyone recommend a beginners course? or should we just keep going and pick the brains of climbers next to us that seem friendly? (pretty much what we did yesterday)

I have a feeling this is an addictive sport? i can barely move my arms but cant wait for friday to go climbing again! 🙂
