Situated just off the main street of Keswick, at the heart of the Lake District, the centre will offer an opportunity to try your hand at one of the most exciting sports out there with facilities such as a the first indoor ice wall in the north of England, 12m high lead wall, 390 m2 of dedicated Bouldering, Training room, Fun Climb area, indoor Caving Experience, Kids Hard Play area and Café.

Training, Taster sessions and Masterclass coaching will be available along with social clubs, classes and lectures.

Along with the indoor activities the King Kong Climbing Centre will offer the opportunity to develop outdoor skills through the following courses:

  • Intro to Real Rock
  • Experienced Lakeland Climbing
  • Ghyll Scrambling
  • Via Ferrata
  • Mountain Walks
  • Learn to Lead Outdoors
  • SPA Training
  • SPA Assessments

Phase 1 of the build was completed in early June with the successful opening of the Café and the Kids hard play area. Phase 2 is due to open in late August.

Great hype but isn't there an ice wall in Manchester here: http://www.vertical-chill.com/vertical-chill-manchester.htm Pretty sure there used to be one in Castleford Xscape as well but it may have shut down.
Very true Tom, the Castleford Xscape wall closed some years ago and whilst the Manchester wall is still operational, our Ice Wall is a good 115 miles further North :) Speaking of which our cold room is going down to temperature this week. Winter is coming... Updates to follow as work progresses.
