I went to a women-only climbing session at the wall this week and it was so much fun - everyone was really relaxed and friendly, the instructor was lovely and the exercises she gave us were really interesting. Plus, there were custard creams. I was a bit worried about going as a beginner with most other people there having climbed for years, but they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Now I just need to rev myself up to try bouldering on my own...
