Note: the information given below was correct at the time
of writing but it is always a good idea to check with the organisers -
visit their website or phone or email them to make sure that details are
still up to date. NOT SO TRAD, Southern Lesbian & Gay Climbers are a gay and lesbian climbing club, largely based in London but with members spread across the south of England. website: www.notsotrad.org We are a very friendly group of climbers of all ages, grades and aspirations. The group is mixed; at the moment we have as many women as men. We welcome all gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender climbers and their friends to enjoy climbing in a fun and friendly atmosphere and to progress in the sport. NOT SO TRAD are into all styles of climbing: trad climbing (leader placed protection), sport climbing, alpine climbing and bouldering, as well as top-roping on southern sandstone. We trad climb, but we are NOT SO TRAD. NOT SO TRAD developed from a club based within the Gay Outdoor Club. However the members felt that a closer association with the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) was an important part of our development as a club. In particular we wanted to have a visible presence of lesbian and gay climbers within the larger institution that is the BMC, as well as to support BMC activities and campaigns. Our main meet is weekly at THE CASTLE climbing wall in North London, followed by a swift social in the local pub. As well as our regular indoor meetings, NOT SO TRAD have a program of weekend or longer trips each year including Portland, Wales, Lake District, Cornwall, Peak District as well as at least one international trip. Most trips take place in the summer, and involve camping. On weekday evenings during the summer we include after-work trips to Kent, to hone skills before the essential pint in the pub and last train home. We also have social events, such as barbeques, trips to the cinema or just a pint. All our events are great fun to join, whatever your level of experience. Membership of NOT SO TRAD Southern Gay and Lesbian Climbers costs £15 per annum and runs from 1 November to 31 October, with a reduced rate of £10 for members joining after 31 July of their first year.
