dose any one know how long it will take to get to the kendal wall from glossop centre.
also what is it like to climb there?

In reply to bezzer555: 2 hours maybe, its small, but interesting, you can jump off the top of most routes if you know how to land properly.

In reply to LittleJoe: I'd pay to see you jump off the top of Kendal Wall.

It's about 20m high.

In reply to LittleJoe:


What is it with this fashion of jumping off boulder problems at climbing walls?

Personally I find it very distracting while leading or bouldering near such people. Don't you realise that you are doubling your training excercise by down climbing in a controlled manner?

In reply to bezzer555:

haha, indeed you're right I was thinking of Keswick for some unknown reason, Kendal is HUGE and they have the cool stalactite...

my mistake, and you'd have to pay me alot

In reply to LittleJoe:

You're mistaking routes for boulder problems Joey.

In reply to bezzer555:

You'll have to do an assessment when you sign in (if it's your first time) - answer some questions in writing, and then get asked something, just to see whether you've been exagerating a bit on the form....

Oh, and the Stalagmite/Stalactite combo is a must do. I did 3 or 4 warm up routes, and then thrutched my way up whatever was the easiest route (F6a, I think)..

They do have some routes with autobelays, so climbing in a group of three, I was going up those routes when I wasn't belaying or climbing (and being belayed).

You do need to get a member of staff to demonstrate the autobelay system to you before you use it. I still downclimbed the first route I did on it, as I didn't trust it, so test it out before you get too far from the ground. And don't forget to clip in to them!

About 1 1/2 hours
