In reply to Mark Collins:
Hi, I would like to introduce myself as one of the new owners. As the article said it was Big Rock Climbing ltd that were fined.
The incident happened 12 months ago and is nothing to do with us and will have no effect on Climb Rochdale or its customers/prices.
The centre has had new alarms,sensors,fire doors,emergency lighting and better improved signs.
The centre was due to close for good in December, but we made a deal with the previous owners and bought the assets and took over the building lease.
We have lots of plans to improve and develop the centre, we have started with a new cafe, better quality routes and problems. And a new training/warming up area.
I won say to much on this thread as I should really be using premier post (UKClimbing do lots for free so paying for advertisement on here is well worth it and a good cause). But its still £5.50 entry for adults and cheaper for concessions and children.
Keep an eye out for developments and if you havn't been for a while come see the changes. We are on Facebook and twitter and our new improved website will be finished shortly.
As a new business venture we appreciate support from our customers. As the bad publicity at the same time as we opened really had us worried.
Regards
Stuart Holmes
