Why Climbing?
Climbing is a fantastic activity that provides full-body movement and is a true sport for life – our oldest active customer is 88!
While climbing initially developed outdoors, it’s now possible to climb year-round and make climbing work around a busy school and work schedule thanks to indoor facilities like ours.
In fact, a lot of our customers only ever climb indoors, and indoor climbing has firmly established itself as a discipline of its own.
The benefits for children are exactly the same as for adults. Climbing teaches responsibility (for yourself and for others), independent decision-making, self-reliance, confidence, and an appreciation of all of the amazing things that the human body can do.
With climbing being included in the Olympic Games again this year, now is the perfect time to get really involved with this amazing sport.
