Do you feel like you’re stuck at a plateau on a certain colour tag here at Mile End? Want to progress but struggling to break into that next grade? Maybe you’ve even got a specific yellow tag project you need help with? This Saturday, 17th May, we have a number of exciting Movement Clinics running, one of which is the launch of our new Level Up… Series. Session One is all about Yellow Tags! If you’ve been ticking off those greens and blues, but the yellows have been getting away, this session is for you. Work with coach Ethan in a small group, where he’ll analyse your climbing and identify personalised strategy, technique-improvement and training to help you unlock Yellow Tags climbs around the centre. The session is only £25 for 90 minutes, and includes your entry to the wall and any equipment you may need - making this really incredible value. Link in our bio to book! P.s. we’ve also got dedicated Dynamic Movement and Slab Masterclass workshops running on the day - so check those out if you’d prefer! Session One is all about Yellow Tags, but we’ll be running more in this Level Up… Series - so help us out, what grade should the next session target? (fb)

This May, there are some really big things happening at Mile End... This weekend coming, we have the hugely popular Fossil Fest event running all day on Saturday. Heads up, we're expecting this to be a busy one! All the FAQs you need can be found on our event post on the grid or over on @rock_on_climbing 's page. Routesetting for this event will be centre wide during the week so please bear this in mind! The week of the 21st will see a lot of additional setting for the England Squad Development Day - concentrated in the Secret Garden - which will culminate over the weekend with the event itself. Young talent from all over the UK will be welcome to attend to test their metal on top level competition boulders in a number of age categories - after which the set will be opened to the public from our second Secret Garden Summer Social! More info on that to come soon... Finally, later on in May, half the routesetting team will be flying out to Lusaka to help set for Zambia's first international climbing competition. So, all of that to say - the routesetting team have their work cut out for them this month! The planned schedule is as follows - but please do keep an eye on socials and signage around the centre as things are subject to change!
