Why You Should Try Indoor Climbing

Is it because it’s rising in popularity? Is it that it’s become an Olympic sport? Is it because you can get physically fit?

It’s all of those and more! Discover all the benefits of climbing, its community and the mental and physical health benefits it can provide.

It’s an honour for us to join your climbing journey. Find out more below.

Stay Classy:  Responsible Outdoor Bouldering

Climbing has never been more popular and in vogue and is growing at a rapid rate.

As a business that sees thousands of climbers each day, in a ‘self-governed’ sport, we believe we have a responsibility to help any climber aspiring to take their new passion to the next level; the outdoors!

We can build countless new walls, but we can’t build new crags. So how can we ensure we collectively look after what we’ve got? We teamed up with an author, photographer and gritstone aficionado Dave Parry,  to see what little behaviours we can all adopt to ensure out outdoor crags are well looked after.
