Winners, please contact us on 3star@craggy-island.com to arrange delivery of your tickets.

 

One of the main attractions is the now world-famous Sky Masters – Elite level climbers going head to head in the UK’s most excitin climbing competition!

The unique Sky Masters climbing wall (or should we say “floating ceiling”) is suspended from the NEC rafters, and forms an entirely overhanging route.  Climbers have to scramble under, over and around immensely challenging obstacles to reach the finish before their opponent.

 

We’d also like to take this opportunity to wish Ben Read, Danie Rushmer and Mark Croxall (all members of staff at Guildford) the best of luck as they are all competing!

New Routes at Guildford!

March 16th, 2010 by Danie | No Comments | Filed in 3 Star Membership, Craggy Island News, Guildford News, Route Setting

Well, after a very busy few days for Mark I’m happy to tell you that we have lots of lovely new routes at Guildford again!

Some of the new routes hve been set for a military competition which is being held here tomorrow (17th March) so are not yet available for use.  They’ll be open and available from about 4pm on the 17th though.

Lines 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17 are all brand new and there have been a few changes on the comp wall too to look out for.  There have also been a couple of new routes added to lines 54 and 57.  A mixture of top roping and leads and a range in grades of 4 to 7c.

Happy climbing!

3 Star Progress

March 3rd, 2010 by Cliff Hanger | No Comments | Filed in 3 Star Membership

First of all thanks to all those who have returned their 3 star forms so far, and come on the rest of you get them back to us to make sure you benefit from the £39 per month special offer £42 per month after April 1 (you’ll save £36.00 over the year).

At the moment we are inputing the information into our operating system and upgrading it (the system) to enable the Direct Debits to be activated. So a fair amount of testing is going on in the background to ensure all runs smoothly come April 1 when your 3 star membership starts. Anyone who has signed up already can immediately get benefit from the 10% discounts on our internal courses. This includes Mark Croxall coaching sessions on saturday 13th March.

Once we are ready to issue the new cards we will inform you via the email address on your application form, we will also put a notice on this, the 3 star news blog.

About the blog…

This will be a news feed for any information specifically relevant to 3 star members, including special offers either from us at Craggy or from our 3 star partners who may want to tell you about any trips or late space availability. To benefit from any discounts applicable to your 3 star membership, all you have to do is contact the company concerned and quote your membership number on your card, its that simple.

On the main 3 star page listed under categories on the right hand side of the Craggy website, will be a listing of the terms and conditions of 3 star plus the benefits and prices. Additionally there will also be a list of all the 3 star partners. These partners will all be offering 3 star members discounts on their products and services, these will all be relevant to active climbers. This list will give you a very brief mission statement on their activities and services along with contact details and a web link to their sites. We will not be acting as agents and 3 star members are invited to deal directly with these companies and individuals, just remember to tell them you are a Craggy 3 star member!

3 star won’t be live until April 1st. Watch this space for developments!
