Visit our Climbing wall, located in the racquet court lobby of SE16, to see what all the talk is about. Our Student Staff are there to assist you to safely manoeuvre the 20’ wall. They are a wonderful inspiration, not just belaying you up and down but also showing you climbing techniques. The Climbing wall is a great place to hang out - lots of new routes going up all the time - come meet our wonderful climbing staff who can show you the ropes!
