๐งGAY MEN GO ROCK CLIMBING
Calling all gay men who have ever thought:
โRock climbing looks fun but alsoโฆ terrifying?โ
Well good news...weโre doing it together.
Join a group of adventurous, chaotic and moderately athletic gay men for an evening of climbing, laughing, falling off walls dramatically and hopefully making some new connections along the way.
Whether youโre a seasoned climbing pro or a gay man whose only upper body strength comes from carrying iced coffees, you are VERY welcome.
Thereโll be a qualified instructor on hand to take everyone through the basics, so please donโt worry if youโve never climbed before. This event is completely beginner friendly and designed for gay men of all experience levels.
Expect:
โจ A relaxed social atmosphere
๐ง Beginner climbing guidance
๐ณ๏ธ๐ A space to meet other gay men in London
๐ Post-climb hangs and chats
All equipment is provided...just bring yourself, comfortable clothes and a willingness to give it a go.
Limited spots available!

Send to a friendMost of our guys showed up solo too
It's the most common worry we hear. Here's how we make sure first-timers leave feeling like they belong.
You won't be the only solo guy
More than 60% of attendees come alone. The room is built for it.
We greet you at the door
Tell us it's your first time and we'll introduce you to people right away.
The activity does the work
You don't have to make small talk from cold.
Leave when you want
Stay for the social or head home early. Both are normal.

Finally a gay event where I felt seen
I'm 47 and most gay events make me feel ancient. This one had every type of guy โ single, coupled, all ages.
