The Arches is the climbing wall I go to, located in London Bridge. It's built inside one of the railway arches of the actual London Bridge overground and therefore infinitely cool. Rebecca and David live in Reigate so their "local" is craggy, which means when I go to the wall, I go alone. Still, I've only been going a grand total of 4 weeks and already bumped into an old school friend who climbs so that's a start. I'm hoping to get to know the people who work there and the climbers who go there more frequently. 'Cos I like doing photography I might also even get a chance to go with people from the wall on trips they do around the country. Maybe get some of my pictures posted up online, on something like Flickr (I signed up recently (today) for that very reason) or even on their website. Or even a magazine. That would be cool, though I realise it's aiming quite high. I have aspirations for being a Climbing Photographer in my spare time, when I'm not in the city rolling out Mac systems to massive corporations.
It's a cool place to climb, I reckon, though I've not been to any other walls in the City. I hear that Castle smells though.
