MORE CLIMBING! Coming soon at Guildford!!

May 1st, 2012 by Danie | No Comments | Filed in Newsletter

Yes, you did read that right…  We’ve got a whole lot of new climbing coming soon at Craggy Guildford!

In fact, so much that we’re going to tease you with it for the next 3 months…  ‘Cos we’re mean like that. 

In total, 14 new lines of climbing will be added along with other sections of the centre being re-styled.

In this, Part 1, we’re unveiling the sea stack-styled new section of wall that will give you another 8 lines worth of value for your money!

“The Stack” will be located in the centre of the main climbing area and gives a variety of vertical, slabby and overhanging sections to be contended with - up to 10 metres in height. 

Lines will be a mixture of leading and top-rope and kitted out with shiny new holds and volumes too!

All of our new climbing walls will be completed by August of this year.  There may be slight disruption whilst this work is carried out but we will keep this to a minimum and provide as much notice as possible!

All of the work is being carried out by Entre-Prises - the most renowned designer and builder of climbing structures there is, so our plans are in VERY safe hands!

Look out for “Part 2″ at the beginning of June!

Technique Training with Mark Croxall: How hard can you really climb…?!

May 1st, 2012 by Danie | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Newsletter

Having competed for 10 years on the International circuit, mark is one of the most accomplished climbers and coaches in the country.

Mark runs sessions for up to 2 climbers at a time.  During your session you can either work on a general nip ‘n’ tuck of your climbing style or look to improve on specific elements within your climbing.  Mark is also our route-setter so can provide you with vital information on how to unlock the sequences on particular routes.

Whether you’re new to climbing, having recently completed a Beginner’s Climbing Course, or you’re a rock star in the making – Mark can assist you in discovering what’s holding you back and advise on how to keep seeing improvements after the session.

Mark says: “People are always surprised at how much progress they can make in just an hour long session.  It’s great that just a few adjustments to technique and body position can have such a positive effect.  It really can make the difference as to whether they get the next hold or fail.  The key however, is maintaining those skills after the session which is something I’m always keen to encourage by suggesting exercises and session plans which will mean their climbing will go from strength to strength.”

Mark’s sessions are available as follows:  (Prices are £40.00 for a 1:1 session and £55.00 for a 1:2 session)

Saturday 26th May 2012 - Guildford
