"Come on! SURELY there must be some climbers or hikers here x
Hiker, but not a climber. I have noodle-arms. "
I've never heard an arm described this way, I've seen these noodle arms though! it's not what you've got it's what you do with it. Right? |

precisely, technique is what makes the difference. A few gals I know are technically excellent, they make up for the lack of 'power' by climbing well.
Keep it up pal  |

I have had a go but you need a lot of hand strength and it ruins your nails.  |

"I've done my fair stint of rock climbing. Still got my harness and chalk bag somewhere. Doubt I'd do anything serious these days though - far more interesting things on the horizon  "
"In the end it's the journey that matters"
Get 'em out, go play on the rock x |

"The last time I went bouldering (in NZ), I got my hips wedged in a cave filling with water  "
Eek! I don't cave and I don't pot hole! Horrendous, anxiety ridden way to spend time! |

Wales climber here, I've found the best place to find genuine climber ladies is to visit the crags and appropriate pubs 
A compatible lady mountaineer is a gem of a find x stops me soloing too much
Even better if they like ice axe and cramp on expeditions x |

"Any ladies here climb or want to? Would be cool to have a cfwb xx"
I used to climb! Started outdoors while travelling. Haven’t don’t it for a long time but definitely would
Hate indoor climbing but don’t really have the weather for outdoors now.
I only sport climb and I don’t lead. I can belay but it has been a while.
Also love hiking |

"I go to an indoor bouldering centre in Kent on a monthlyish basis. I really enjoy it and it's a great all over workout. Not sure about doing it out doors yet though."
It is a totally different sport. Outdoors the skill set is different. You will be able to set up top ropes on some routes but, again even the climbing is different.
Find a climbing buddy x
Keep up the indoor, it is a great work out xx |

There are no ropes in bouldering anyway, so I wouldn't have thought the the skill set is that much different. Just the floors aren't as soft if you fall! |

I misread and thought there was climbing too. Come down to Devon, boulder on the nice sharp Dartmoor granite it is different, you shall see x |

I'm a distance backpacker wild camper type. But haven't gone into much rock climbing other than a bit if scrambling to get through a trail. I expect it needs a lot of kit and base camping. |

"I like outdoors, camping, hiking, kayaking, building fires, foraging etc etc. But climbing, nope, done it before, got as high as 5ft and cried. I’m very scared of heights "

"Done a bit of indoor climbing. Not to a high standard but I really enjoy it. Even when the fingers start to blister. "
You'll toughen up if you stick with it buddy. No pain, no gain! |
