I thought going out with someone dodgy and inexperienced was ''the way''..?
VCC trips are good, they'll pair you up with people who do actually know what they're doing. You will need a few pices of gear *check website* in particular, a helmet.
As for multipitch trad. *especially if you're seconding* it won't take years. For instance, tip toe at araps is great. Easy climbing at about grade 5. Sweet adventure! So there is something for everyone, regardless of ability |
