We're reopening from 25th July
It's official, climbing walls have been given the green light to open again from 25th July. Initially we will only be open to those who have pre-booked a session with us. The booking system is not yet live, but we hope to have this up and running soon.
Since the lockdown we've been in regular contact with the Association of British Climbing Walls (the ABC), who have been working hard putting together a set of guidelines to help climbing walls re-open when the time comes. Various working groups within the ABC have been gathering research and information from the UK and elsewhere, including official guidance from Public Health England and also useful info from climbing walls in other countries that have already re-opened. We will be following these safety guidelines carefully, as well as undertaking our own coronavirus risk assessment and implementing various precautionary measures as a result.
Thanks again to everyone who has been touch during the last couple of months, we really appreciate the support and are excited to be able to get things going again for everyone soon!
