See Portland from a new vantage point and take part in a vertical one to one poetry experience

Join poet and climber Penny Newell on Poetry Ledge – an experiment to bring poetry and climbing together, inspired by the world-famous rock climbing venues of Portland, the sea cliffs and quarry walls, and the surrounding landscape and culture.

Guided by a qualified climbing instructor, you are invited to abseil to a Portaledge: a secure rock climbers platform, where you will sit on a rock-face, in a vertical one-on-one 20-minute poetry workshop with Penny, producing new writing about your experience.

This experience is weather dependent.
