Getting to know the person who holds your rope

It can be quite tricky to get to know the person who’s been holding the end of your rope.

Usually you’re separated by 10m vertically, and you’re swearing at life, the route setter and everything and trying not to fall off. This doesn’t leave loads of opportunity to get to know each other. Except occasionally who will swear the most creatively in public.

Since the start of the year, The Climbing Clan started doing joint socials with the Caving Crew. Opportunities to do fun things, together and get to know the people behind the activities.

These photos are from a delightfully well attended pancake night at Helen’s flat – where many people were presented with many many pancakes and many many many toppings.

Whilst the in person socialising is on pause, the idea continues on Zoom – and every Tuesday night “Cooking with Company” gives people an opportunity to make new friends, eat food and chat!
