This event is ideal for beginners; all levels of experience and ability are welcome to come along. It will take place at Boulders climbing centre, where there is plenty of top roping, lead climbing and bouldering.
Indoor climbing centres offer the challenges of climbing that you'll find on natural outdoor structures; simply indoors. It's a fun way to stay fit, you will quickly begin to develop arm, back, finger, and core strength as a result of the many reaches and holds that are repeated through the completion of the climb.
To come along, you will need to register via this event page, and to climb you will need to pay an entry fee directly to the centre when you arrive. For entry fee prices at the centre, go to: www.bouldersuk.com/climbing-centre/climbing.
