Notes
500 sq meters of bouldering wall from slabs to very steep. The wall is ideal for beginners and also enthusiasts as the centre is split into 3 rooms. The kids room, the rock room and the comp room. There is also a very extensive caving system that runs behind the walls in the Kids room. This has many passages and chambers and includes a sump (filled with balls) and is an excellent venue for school activities.

With over 200 graded routes and a real rock section sculpted to mimic climbing on Limestone Grit and Slate, this centre is a fine addition to Craggy in Guildford and offers a superb days climbing. Routes are changed regularly with no route being up for more than 2 months.

The centre runs a range of instructed sessions, introduction to bouldering, coaching from well known climbers Mark Croxall, Gaz Parry and Lucy Creamer, birthday parties for kids and adults for both bouldering and caving.

Craggy membership covers both centres which are approx 40mins drive apart with many making good use of both.

USER FEEDBACK Login as Existing User to add your comments I honestly can't get enough of this place, it's pure bouldering and its huge! Busy at times with kids parties and families using the caving area... but there are plenty of areas to try. Route settings are of a wide variety and difficulty... Easy, Medium and Hard for the main, although the comp room uses a grades. EscapeArtist - 01/Feb/09
