Inclusive Climbing Event

Inclusive Climbing Club – The Ledge

7th May | Inverness

The Inclusive Climbing Club is a welcoming monthly climbing space delivered by Equal Adventure at The Ledge Climbing Wall, Inverness. These sessions create a supportive, flexible environment where people can explore climbing, build confidence and enjoy being active in ways that work for them.

This programme is funded by The National Lottery Fund and supported by the British Science Association and the Wellcome Trust.
