Hi,

Just a quick post with the next route setting dates here at Craggy2 for you to burn into your memory.

13th – 16th September Competition Room

4th – 7th October Rock Room

Please note that we are hosting two competitions in October:

The first is a smaller comp in the Competition Room on Saturday 2nd of October from 14:00 – 18:00, during which time the remainder of the centre will be open for public climbing. After 18:00 the room will re-open for climbing as usual.

The second is a big competition at the centre on Wednesday 6th of October and we will be closed to public climbing on the day until 16:00, after which the whole centre will be open for climbing as usual.

Here’s to looking forward to some great new routes – enjoy :0)

Thats it guys the bouldering will be out of commission until roughly 6pm on Friday for a re set. So just 2 sessions to finish your projects!

Hi All!

Yes, another fab new set of problems will be going up in the Rock Room this week!  Who knows where Mark will take his inspiration from this time…  Anything could happen!

As it’s the Summer Holidays the room will be set in two halves, meaning that the other half of the Rock Room will remain open when it is not being set - giving you as much climbing space as possible whilst the setting is going on.  The whole of the Comp Room will remain open throughout and the kids room will also be available (although may be busy during the days with Holiday Sessions – call reception on 0844 880 8866 if you’re interesting in booking one of these!).

Happy climbing!

As you may or may not have heard, Craggy Island will be hosting a 12 hour sponsored climb to raise funds for Help for Heroes on Saturday 25th September 2010.

Craggy Island have chosen to raise money for Help for Heroes to support those returning from duty overseas.  A number of military clubs representing all services use the centre on a regular basis – some just for fun but others as rehabilitation after suffering injuries or losses whilst serving.  It is for these men and women that we are holding the event in honour of and to support them in their journey.

For more information about Help for Heroes and the work that they do, please visit their website:  www.helpforheroes.org.uk

So, hopefully you’re now thinking “Hmmm…  This sounds pretty fun – how can I get involved?”

Well, it’s actually really simple!  All you need to do is download a Registration Form or pick one up in the centre.  There’s a £10 registration fee which includes your entry on the day, light refreshments and your Help for Heroes wrist band – which we expect you to wear with pride on the day!

When you’ve completed your registration form and handed it in to reception you will given an Event Information Pack which will have lots more information about the day, including exactly what’s going on and when!  You can also download the Event Information sheet if you’re too excited to wait.

We’ll keep you updated in the run-up to this great event but if, in the meantime, you have any questions or would like further information, please speak to Ben Read on 0844 880 8866 or email him at Ben@craggy-island.com

Happy climbing!

Hi all,

Just to let you know that we will be resetting the Rock Room here at Craggy2 on the 16th – 19th of August 2010. Mark Croxall will be doing the setting so be prepared for another set of world class routes.

The Rock Room will be closed during the day for setting and we aim to get it re-open by 6 – 6:30′ish every day.
