Busy Week at HCC

March 22, 2012 news Comments Off

We have a busy week coming up for you at Harrogate Climbing Centre!

Bouldering at Harrogate Climbing Centre

Beginning on Friday the 23rd of March you can support Sport Relief by taking part in a team challenge with all proceeds going to charity. There will be a variety of challenges for each team of four, and it will be great fun for all as only two of the team need to be climbers (but any non-climbers will have to be supervised by the competent team members). All we’ll say is you will benefit from having a tall team member, a short team member, someone who can solve puzzles and a working knowledge of climbing trivia!

The fun starts on Friday the 23rd from 6pm and runs all weekend. Make a donation to Sport Relief to enter, then enjoy the centre in a new way!

Climbing League begins on Wednesday.

Just as Boulder Yorkshire comes to an end, we will begin a league to keep all our wonderful route climbers entertained! We will be running a six-week climbing league centered around a selection of lead routes picked for their quality. Each week, a bonus route or two will be added to keep things fresh (and spicy!). It’s totally free to enter and scorecards are available from reception. Don’t forget to bring your lead rope!

Friday is the Boulder Yorkshire Grand Final

What has been a great winter bouldering league, Boulder Yorkshire draws to a close for the season this Friday. We couldn’t let the event pass without getting everyone together for a final night of fun. Dave Barrans will be popping in to set some extra problems and an endurance final with some lovely new holds and volumes! We have some great prizes from our sponsors including Petzl, prAna, Mountain Equipment, Metolius and Steepedge.com.

The fun starts at 6pm and finished with the prize giving at 9.30pm, head on down, pick up some extra points and have a great time. We will!
