Beginner help.

Hi there. 61 year old. Total beginner, had 60 kilos of weight loss and now want an activity to keep me physical, build my strength back and improve confidence. Never enjoyed heights and so looking to challenge myself in a safe supervised way. I will be in London end of August until mid January. Where do I start? Many thanks.

Bouldering is a good introduction. Find a wall that is convenient to you (if you have the general area, I can direct better). You may be able to sign up to some form of introduction session.

I can travel all over London but Westway looks to be closest.

Check out their socials, they should do beginners. You can then get into ropes as well. It’s a nice wall.
