Looking for new belay partners?

Whether you've just finished a Roped Beginners' course, moved to a new area, or want to grow your climbing circle – our Roped Socials are a great way to meet other climbers and find belay partners.

(Formerly known as Climbers' Club - Partner Scheme), these relaxed 2-hour sessions are open to registered roped climbers. Although not an instructed session, a TCA instructor will lead introductions and a group warm-up. They will also be on hand to offer belaying tips, good practice advice and friendly support for those who need it – especially helpful if you’re new to the centre or roped climbing in general.

Come climb, connect and have fun – we’ll see you on the wall!

Please note: You must be a competent top-rope and lead climber to attend the group. Roped Social is not suitable for anyone looking to learn lead climbing – check out our Adult Lead Courses. It’s also not for those brand new to roped climbing – please book onto one of our Adult Beginner Courses first.
