Posted by Rob Adie on 19/12/2007

The first and second films in our beginner's guide to climbing walls are now online.

This series of five short films gives you all the information you will need to get you through your first visit to a climbing wall. Right from walking through the door to putting on your harness and doing your first climb. Along with information on grades, holds and bouldering, this series will take you step by step through the sometimes daunting first visit to your local climbing wall.
