Welcome back!

It's been two weeks since we opened our doors, and we are so happy to see everyone climbing at the centre again! The centre has undergone a transformation during the closure with a full centre refurbishment and route reset to freshen up and improve our climbing facilities for you!

The entire centre has had a lick of paint including all the climbing walls. Every single route is fresh and created by our route setting team over a full week of route setting. Climbers can get to grips with new holds and volumes from leading brands Blue Pill and XCult!

Since we opened, we have been thrilled to receive some amazing reviews. Here's a snippet, to find out what our customers are saying and leave your own reviews just head over to Trip Advisor and Facebook

'very reassuring COVID safety guidance'

'significant investment and wall reshaping, new holds and style of setting'

'all feeling very safe and co-ordinated'

'loads of safety precautions in place felt so safe visiting'

If you haven't visited us yet there are some things you need to know in advance. We have some new operating procedures in place to make sure you can always climb safely. Please read COVID-19 Policies and Procedures before your visit.

A brand-new style of route setting and new grading system!
It is now even easier to find climbs thanks to our new simplified grading system. The easy to follow traffic light grading system groups problems into easy, mid and hard categories.

To find out more about the new style of setting be sure to come along for Adult Improver to chat to our friendly coaching team - we are always happy to help.

Griptonite

Simply download the app and keep a record of every route you’ve ever climbed! Find out information about each route and track your progress on the leader board!

Training Area
The training area has undergone a transformation, and everything is new and reset. The Beastmaker board now has a new mix of wooden holds and is already loaded up on Stokt - just download the app to make up your own problems! The new peg board is popular with campus board lovers too!

Extended Opening Hours
We are opening earlier just for you! The 7am time slot is exclusively for adults and includes an extra hour making the session length 2 hours and 45 mins. The cafe will be open serving coffee and light refreshments for take away.

Coffee Lounge Seating Area
The coffee lounge has been rearranged to become more spacious and allow for social distancing.

New menu
We have added a few new items to the cafe menu with more vegan and dairy free choices.

Cake Fridays

A cuppa and a piece of cake after climbing is a hard combo to beat! We have enlisted the skills of a local chef to make a vegan friendly cake each week - when it's gone, it's gone!

Take Away
All of our hot drinks and snacks are available for takeaway in eco-friendly packaging!
