Brigantia Explorers finished the term on a high note with climbing sessions at Harrowall Climbing Wall across three evenings in mid-December. All Explorers were given the chance to attend, and those who came along got stuck into 90 minutes of bouldering and auto-belay climbing under the guidance of Harrowall’s instructors.

There was some genuinely impressive climbing on display, and the enthusiasm was clear throughout. Plenty of them have already asked when we’re going back. A big thank you to the leaders who made it happen: Matt P, Matt L, Nigel, Akil and Leon.
