The centre also has the luxury of an indulge café, where you can buy a drink or a sandwich after a hard days climbing.
The centre provides a range of different activities, including kids clubs (5-17years), corporate events, arrangements for birthday parties and various lessons. Experienced climbers can also get qualifications that allow them to teach climbing. These include the single pitch award, which allows a climber to teach climbing outdoors and the climbing wall award which allows them to teach on manmade structures.
Joel Hart, 18, only started climbing this summer and has already signed up for a 26 week pass says: “Climbing here is really fun, it’s great workout and much more interesting than going to a gym”
Prices for the climbing wall start off at £5 for an under 18 session all the way up to £360 for an annual pass. You can also hire out a range of equipment for a small fee and you can go on the walls unsupervised if you are over 18 and can show you are a competent climber.
