Indoor rock climbing is very popular, both as training for climbing outdoors and as a sport itself. It’s even managed to make it to the Olympics!
If it’s something that you’ve always wanted to try or it’s been suggested to you as a great general fitness activity, have a look below to see how we can start you off on your climbing journey.
Where do I start?
“I’m not strong enough” The great thing about learning to climb indoors is that there are lots of problems and routes designed for beginners – larger holds, easier angles – and the more you do, the stronger you get!
“I’m afraid of heights” Climbing isn’t all about getting to the top! Our traversing walls let you climb along not up, just 30cm off the floor. You can climb as high as you want on our roped climbs, then come back down. Maybe next time a little further…!
The joy of climbing is that it is for both body and mind – working your muscles and looking for the next holds. You can add in the sense of achievement when you improve and the fun of climbing with other people. So why not come along and see what it’s all about?
