Climbing Clinic

This is your chance to quiz Lucy with your climbing queries. Just send an email and your questions and answers will appear here, so they can be useful for other people.

Winning questions will receive prizes throughout the year.

“I would like this to be an informal access point for information. All those annoying things you or your mates are stumped by, I’ll give it a go. It could be something to do with technique, to, what’s the scariest HVS in Britain? And if I can’t answer it, I’ll probably know someone who can. I will try to answer your questions ASAP but if I’m away and have difficulty getting access to the net, there might be a delay. So don’t be shy and have a go.”
