What's it all about?

Our Autumn Climbing Festival is a packed weekend of climbing, friends and fun, giving us all a chance to celebrate the start of the new climbing season.

If you’ve never been to visit us before, it’s a great chance to come and give climbing a go, with beginners’ drop-in sessions available in the morning and early afternoon. For regular climbers, there are Prize Challenges like the Dyno comp and No Hands balance challenge running in the afternoon, as well as loads of exciting new problems to try set specially for the weekend.

And if you want to see some top-level climbers showing us all how it’s meant to be done, come along for the Battle of the Brands competition at 8pm on Saturday night and watch sponsored climbers do battle for superiority on our competition wall. Spectators are very welcome for this part of the weekend and there’s no charge for just watching – don’t miss it!
