After a successful launch last year, the Women’s Climbing Symposium (WCS) returns to reshape your climbing world at the Climbing Hangar in Liverpool on Saturday 3 November 2012.

The WCS will be hosting experts in all aspects of climbing and the most experienced female climbing coaches in the UK will once again be on hand to offer advice and help.  The event aims to connect, inspire and develop women's climbing through collective climbing experiences, the latest research and the best coaching.

Shauna Coxsey will be at the helm of the day’s Coaching Carousel which will take your climbing skills to the nth degree.  Joining Shauna will be: Leah Crane, Suzan Dudink, Diane Merrick, Audrey Seguy, Emma Twyford, Kitty Wallace and Lucinda Whittaker.
