Your love letters to climbing

Being forced to stop doing your favourite thing is really hard. It makes you realise just how much it meant to you.

As we all practise social distancing* and self-isolation, there’ll be plenty of time to binge-watch TV, to tick off all those home improvements tasks and hopefully, to undertake a little home training.

It can be hard to do any of these things with anxious thoughts filling the air, so we wanted to share a bit of positivity through messages from our climbers. We miss you so much!!

We’d love to hear your stories. Think of it like a love letter to the activity you can’t currently do. We want to hear your stories about climbing or about TCA – How did you get into it? Has it helped you in some way or changed your life? What do you miss most about it? Tell us about some of your most fun or challenging climbing experiences or just share some pics from happier times. Artwork also welcome!

You can submit your words and pics below and/or share online, tagging us and using #IheartTCA. We hope at least one or two of you might find the time to take part.

We’ll share them online to bring some cheer (or at the very least some distraction) for our home-bound climbers.
