72% of our survey respondents said that before Cov

72% of our survey respondents said that before Covid, they would usually climb with friends. During the national and local lockdowns climbing has been allowed but either as climbing alone or limited groups and now walls are closed again 😭⁠
⁠
We’ve always been vocal about the social side of climbing. It’s part of the fun and helps us up our climbing game. The sense of community, the networking and friendship, and the sense of achievement when watching your peers tackle problems they never would have dreamed of smashing a few months ago.⁠
⁠
It’s something we miss, and one of the biggest things we’re looking forward to in 2021⁠
⁠
Climbing with, and socializing with, friends 🙌🏼⁠
⁠
Who will be your first climbing partner in 2021? Tell us in the comments 👇🏼⁠

We’ve been working with an excellent local architect called Tim, who’s been interpreting our vision and translating it into something that builders can work to 🔧 ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here’s the layout of phase 1 and an idea of what phase 2 will look like 😆⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When we open phase 1 we’ll start a consultation process to get your input into our designs for phase 2, so you’ll have a chance to design it with us!

So do we! 💙⁠ ⁠ Now we have new landlords in

So do we! 💙⁠
⁠
Now we have new landlords in the shape of Southend Borough Council, we have a slight delay as we discuss contracts and adapt our timelines slightly...⁠
⁠
Don’t worry! There is nothing to fear and we’re actually chuffed to bits that we get to work even more closely with SBC, as they’ve been so supportive of our mission so far. Here’s what they had to say in a recent press release:⁠
⁠
The council said that the purchase of the Victoria centre “offers future regeneration benefits and a real opportunity to make a positive impact on the High Street and town centre area.⁠
⁠
“In the short term, the Council will look at ways to increase footfall and drive up occupancy levels through short-term tenancies. This will provide opportunities for start-ups, relocating businesses, or artists’ studios for example.⁠
⁠
“There is also a significant opportunity to improve the main point of entry to the High Street and the gateway to our town. The Council is committed to creating opportunity and prosperity in our Borough and although times are tough and may get tougher, the council is committed to the long-term future of the town centre.”⁠
⁠
We believe Indirock offers a real source of new footfall to our high street and gives locals (and climbers far and wide) a reason to be excited as we move into 2021. If you have any questions on the build and timeline, just drop us a DM 🔸⁠

Climbing is a new Olympic sport this year! 🥇🥈🥉⁠
⁠
Have you been watching the qualifiers in Russia this winter? We’re in good company as a new Olympic Sport - also making their debut are skateboarding, surfing and even breakdancing in 2024!⁠
⁠
Southend is home to so many amazing sports facilities - on average every home is just a mile away from a gym⁠
⁠
Check out these awesome small businesses offering YOU the opportunity to try our new Olympic sports:⁠
⁠
🛹 For some skateboarding try the Four Wheel Plank Club⁠
🕺🏽WD Studio offers breakdancing and other styles of dance⁠
🏄🏻 If you fancy getting out on the waves, why not try Southend Kitesurfing - possibly the closest we’ll get to surfing in our calm water estuary…⁠
⁠
And of course, for climbing, look no further than Indirock launching in 2021!⁠
⁠
Do you know any other local businesses offering access to cool new sports?

This year is starting with a 💥BANG💥 for Southend. There are so many exciting projects being developed and we’re so excited to be part of it…⁠
⁠
One of the projects we’ve been following closely is Concrete Culture!⁠
⁠
We’re really excited about this movement which was formed recently by a local collective of creatives, including the musician @forgetcape among many others. They already have tangible traction and are in consultation with councillors about potentially taking our much loved Kursaal back into the public’s hands.⁠
⁠
They launched a consultation which gives us all a chance to have a say - and we’d love for our followers to visit their site and share thoughts and ideas. The consultation is at the bottom of their homepage - find the link by visiting their bio @concreteculturesx 🔸⁠

Heading into tier 5 and feeling grateful for the chance to try out a whole new outdoor pursuit despite it all! 💦Things might be looking grim for a bit, but we're not letting it get us down! ✊🏽Southend's rocking open water swimming scene has been spotted by the guardian. 👀 Of all the places we could be locked down, it's not half bad eh? 😁Has anyone else succumbed to trying winter swimming in our beautiful estuary? ❄️🕺🏿🐳

Our friends at United We Climb are currently doing

Our friends at United We Climb are currently doing some research into climbing, and they are trying to reach as many UK climbers as possible so we thought we’d lend a hand! 💪🏼⁠
⁠
The survey focuses on cultural beliefs, social norms, and practices which may cause discrimination and inequality within climbing. By sharing and completing it, you will help us to:⁠
⁠
🤝 Better understand our community ⁠
💥 Learn how to better serve those who are currently underrepresented in climbing⁠
♥️ Make progress towards our ultimate goal of putting equity at the heart of our industry and community⁠
⁠
Some extra info: This survey is for climbers within the United Kingdom. It should take approximately 8 minutes. No personal data is collected. If you have any questions or would like any more info please contact @unitedweclimb Thank you!⁠

We have so much to look forward to in 2021! 🥳⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You may have heard the news that Southend Borough Council have taken the exciting step of buying the Victoria Shopping Centre, our new home! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
With this move, the Council have big visions for how they could play a more proactive role in shaping our high street. We’re looking forward to being a part of that, offering a long term commitment with our 15-year tenancy agreement⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What has been a boarded-up unit for over 10 years will soon be open to the public again, with big glossy windows showing through to the climbing and coffee shop within. Just imagine the new energy that will be brought to that first-floor walkway in the Victoria Shopping Centre! This *may* mean our building works will be slightly delayed but we’re working with our new landlords to find out what this means and will update you very soon!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here’s a drawing of what those windows should look like when we open 🔸⁠⠀

Meg is also a keen climber, which makes her twice as cool in our eyes! 💕⁠

They’ll make the perfect gifts and liven up any table - although we wouldn't have the heart to actually light one 👀😍⁠
⁠
🕯£8 per candle or £15 for 2. 8 hours approx burn time. Get in touch with Meg @megs_nails_los for more info

Oh hello… 👀🤩 Our climbing holds are starting to arrive and don't they look the bomb!😬 With Brexit looming and lockdowns creating massive delays for climbing holds - most of which are produced on the continent - we were getting worried that we'd be opening our walls with nothing to put hands and feet on!👽 Then we got a friendly message from the guys at Alien Holds. They're a new company who, alongside veterans like Core, are one of the few UK-based producers of beauties like these. 🧗🏾The team have been super friendly and efficient with a crazy quick turnaround. Check these guys out if you want to give your home climbing wall a little shake up! 👾 @alienholds @coreclimbing
