The 12m high Climbing Wall comprises of eighteen climbing lines, with three routes on each line. Thirteen lines are real form textured surfaces and five lines are on textured panels.

The wall also comprises of a two person belay ledge and climbing equipment placement system.

The sunken ground anchors eliminate the need for heavy sandbags, and air conditioning keeps the Climbing Wall cool even on hot days.

Routes are graded using the French system and range from 4 – 8A.

We aim to renew two lines per week to ensure there is always something new to try.
