I will demonstrate urban climbing techniques, initially focusing on traversing, on facades, railings and street furniture. We will then proceed on a circuit which includes, the raised walkway above Bishopsgate, trellis work near the foot of the NatWest tower, the facade of 99 Bishopsgate and the churchyard of St Botolph's as I demonstrate further skills. You will have the opportunity to experiment throughout the session.

Is it dangerous?
It depends on your risk appetite. You will quickly develop skills in assessing the risk of every manoeuvre . You will make judgements based on your knowledge of your own physical abilities and direct knowledge of the structure you are interacting with. You will become adept at assessing the physical consequences of the risks you take and develop skill in recognizing both the potential value of opportunities and the potential impact of their adverse effects.
RISK, urban climbing is not scaling facades, equipment is not used, you will find creative ways to challenge yourself, never going far above street level.


How will I benefit?

Will we be using equipment?
