A new chapter: The Font Climbing acquires Parthian Climbing

After months of planning, preparation and anticipation, it's officially finally happening. 

Following our acquisition of Parthian Wandsworth in July, we’re so excited to announce that we’re adding the Reading and Southampton sites to the family as well! 

For Wandsworth, this means we can focus on finalising the transition over the coming weeks, turning it into our London flagship site and uniting the SW London climbing community under one seriously impressive roof. We’re working on getting more updates to you about the site and what this means for OG and will share them as soon as things are confirmed. 

For Reading and Southampton, we’re just starting that journey and will be managing the transition with care over the coming months. For now, it’s business as usual, with both Parthian sites continuing to operate exactly as they always have.

Understandably you’ll have lots of questions, and we’re doing our best to ensure we can answer them all as soon as we can. We do ask that you bear with us too. We’ve shared the news with you now so we can get excited together, but we’re still working on a few things behind the scenes so more details will be shared soon. 

Do still send through your questions, thoughts, suggestions, we want to move through this transition as a team, so drop them here.

A huge thank you to our community for your patience, energy, and support. This is just the beginning of a new era for climbing in London and beyond, built on everything we’ve grown together so far.

See you soon.
