We aim to provide the best facilities and the best support for climbers of all ages and abilities. Initially just a bouldering centre, we aim to develop our centre into one of Europe’s leading centres for training and development whilst retaining an open and inviting environment where newbies and oldies can climb side-by-side and have fun.”
