After many months of fund raising and planning we are proud to announce that our climbing wall is officially open. This is due in the main to anonymous donations and a large contribution from Community First through their landfill Communities Fund.
It was built by Climbing Wall Solutions, who have been involved in the design and construction of climbing walls for over 15 years. The build took place throughout August 09 and it is built using texture coated birch plywood which allows for a variety of creative route settings.
There are 31 routes in an area of 75 square metres with 12 lines and it grades from 4 - 7B+
Climbing is ideal in developing co-ordination, teamwork, problem solving skills, strength and confidence, maybe leading onto developing an interest in the wider world of outdoor adventure.
The Physiological Benefits of Climbing
Fitness enthusiasts quickly recognise the benefits of climbing:
- Core Muscle Development
- Stabiliser Muscle Conditioning
- Hand/Grip Strength & Dexterity

- Flexibility

Regardless of your ability, our climbing wall will give you the excitement and interest in climbing. Why not come along and give it a go?
Testimonials
"My husband and I have just completed a climbing course with Anton the Climbing Instructor to enable us to come along and use the climbing wall. We have found Anton to be most helpful, attentive, and thorough in his instruction and most of all to do it in such a pleasant manner. The fact that we are 72 years and 59 years respectively did not lessen the sense of fun.........or maybe it helped!
Give it a try! You will be surprised at what you can achieve!"
Lucille & Derek Heathcote.
