There is no 'ideal' build for climbing. If you like walking you're already halfway there...Scrambling would probably suit you as an easy way in.

Scrambling is essentially walking with a bit of very easy climbing thrown in and you're always attached to a rope...a bit like proper mountaineering but without the snow and avalanches.

If you decide to give climbing a go find an indoor wall nearby (there are LOADS around you!), have a go at a taster session....and enjoy watching the half naked men....Oh yes.

And everyone is generally really friendly too.

If I'm honest one of the reasons why I started it was because of the men....or at least it's been one of the things that's kept me going...
