We headed to Awesome Walls, Sheffield with pro climber and BMC ambassador Steve McClure, GB Climbing Coach Rachel Carr and GB Climbing Team member Billy Ridal. Their mission? To run through the essential pre-flight safety checks – and any Coronavirus adaptations – to get you back up to speed.

Thanks to Petzl for support, Awesome Walls Sheffield for the location, Steve McClure, Rachel Carr and Billy Ridal.
