What we’re about
CCC is a climbing collective that focuses on mental health peer support.
We run monthly sessions in London at Rise Climbing, usually on the first Sunday of every month.
Our aim is to create non-judgemental spaces where climbers and non-climbers can connect, share and listen to better understand their mental health.
CCC sessions are open to everyone age 18+. Whether you climb regularly or have never climbed before, you are welcome at our sessions.

Climbing Session for Mental Health
Rise Climbing Hoy Street #Unit 6 London E16 1ZA, Rise Climbing Hoy Street #Unit 6 London E16 1ZA,, London, GBStart climbing into a positive space.
We are back on Sunday 18th January for our London peer-to-peer support session. Facilitated by our lovely volunteers, we will be meeting in the cafe area of Rise Climbing by 12.30pm.
Sessions are 2 hours long and are open to everyone, whether you climb often or would like to try for the first time. Follow this link and scroll down to our London sessions to book a space!
What to expect
Our sessions are led by 2 volunteer facilitators, Noa and Josh, and capped at 8 attendees. We ask everyone to attend the session from start to finish, 12:30 - 2:30pm.
We start our sessions with a warm-up for the mind and for the body, where we introduce the space, our guidelines and ourselves. We then head out into the gym to climb, wander and talk. We have no expectations of participants to climb or share, just to be present with one another.
Some weeks are packed with conversation but maybe lack time on the wall or vice versa. Finally, we finish up with a warm down - stretching and checking in with ourselves and each other. We sometimes use this time to practice gratitude or reflect on our paths ahead.
Who can attend
Our sessions are open to anyone aged 18+, no matter where you are on your journey with mental health or how much climbing experience you have. Whether you've simply never climbed before and are looking to meet new people in an inclusive space, or are struggling with self-esteem, grief, unemployment or anything else, you are welcome at Circular Climbing Collective.
