The 40 top-roping lines provide much of the entertainment with the rope providing protection from above. For those climbers with more experience the 12 overhanging lead lines provide a greater challenge as they must clip the rope in as they go. Each line usually has three distinct colour coded routes to the top and these are changed every four months to provide continual interest. Climbing without a rope is available in the fully matted bouldering wall, where the wall varies from vertical to 45 degrees overhanging.

      Hi Caroline, I'm free to climb weekdays (Tuesday, Thursday best) or every 2nd weekend. I lead up to 6b/c but am happy to climb any grade. I prefer sport or bouldering if outdoors, or trad on mountain routes, otherwise indoors. Let me know if you want to climb sometime. Tom
