Climbing on auto belay is a safe sport, if it is done correctly. But lose focus and any one of us could forget to clip. We speak to Sam about her accident and what we need to do as climbers to stay safe.
If you are looking to meet other climbers, to improve your skills or just to have some fun, we have lots of climbers' clubs in Bristol that you can choose from.
Judith from Common Wheel explains how their charity is using climbing to help people with mental health issues to gain confidence and learn new skills.
