The Castle Climbing Centre

Socials Schedule for July and August! Rocking up to a social is one of the best ways of finding new mates to climb with. Most of our social-goers come on their own and many return each week, building strong bonds and stronger biceps. Bouldering socials are typically led by one of our coaches too, so you can hound them for tips and tricks all the while getting to know others in our community.

All socials are free to attend, but usual entry to The Castle is required.

Every Wednesday in July we’ll be hosting Send & Sink, an evening social in the courtyard where you can decompress from your climbing session over hot food and cold beers. 25% off Camden Hells alongside a pasty & beer deal for our first edition next week, all able to be purchased in The Castle Café. No ticket needed, no booking required, simply grab your mates and find a picnic table from 6pm.

Our annual Summer Garden Party will be on Sunday, 19th July between 12 and 6pm. You can expect climbing mini comps, garden workshops, craft stalls, food vendors and tunes in the courtyard. Try top roping and autos for free with an open instructor session and tour the garden with our team of growers. The garden party is a fantastic chance for individuals and families to explore the connection between climbing, nature and sustainability that we’ve nurtured at The Castle. We’d love to see our community, old and new, there!

Know a young person with an insatiable appetite for climbing? Comp Squad Tryouts will be taking place next month! Find out more using the link in our bio.

Since the Squad was launched in 2009 we have had multiple teams progress through our pathway and it has been a joy to watch them cultivate a love for climbing, with many remaining active climbers for life. We have also produced successful competition climbers, some of whom have gone on to win national events and even compete for their country on the international stage.

Aprons on gang, new Crux Book is up. Thank you as always to our fantastic team of setters who worked tirelessly through that heatwave to cook up some belters. If you didn’t manage to send during SunBloc, here’s your chance to study that beta (as well as a variation or two)👩‍🍳
