Rock climbing wall
A real challenge that will excite and inspire

Savour the sheer exhilaration of rock climbing in this quality facility, which is certainly one of the health & fitness club’s best-kept secrets.

Everyone from beginners to more experienced climbers will be tested by the wall’s 200m² climbing surface, with its variety of slabs, overhanging walls, pinches, crimps, smears, pockets and jams.

And because it helps develop self-reliance and responsibility alongside fitness, you’ll soon realise that rock climbing is a fun, inexpensive way to stay in shape.

We are also an awarding centre for National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme (NICAS) Levels 1 and 2, which assesses the abilities of younger climbers.

Climbing advice for all age groups

While beginners will be equipped and taken through the basics by our fully qualified instructors, coaching is available for regular climbers to improve their technique.

And because safety is extremely important, all users of our rock wall will be reassured by the fact the equipment and the wall itself are regularly inspected under guidance from indoor climbing wall and technical advisors Undercover Rock.
