Climbing is a physically and mentally challenging sport and is a great way to improve strength and flexibility. At Sobell we have a range of climbing walls to suit every level. There is an 8 metre high top roping or leading wall. Features include an overhang, jamming cracks, arêtes and a chimney. The competition wall stands at 13 metres - one of the highest walls in the country. The routes on this wall are up to F8b and changed regularly. There is a 5 metre bouldering wall over hanging with a large number of routes from 4a upwards which can be bouldered or led. The climbing corridor is a traverse wall of brick and embedded rocks, 25 metres long and 3 metres high. This is suitable for technique and stamina training with a low level and a high level traverse.
