February 2nd, 2012 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Sutton News

So the first round results out of the four Winter/Spring rounds are:

Half term fun at Craggy2!

February 2nd, 2012 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Sutton News

Cave & Climb Sessions:

If you want your kids aged 5+ years to have a go at caving and climbing here at Craggy2 this half term then why not book them onto one of our fun Junior or Mini Cave & Climb sessions? It’s a great way for them to burn off a bit of energy and experience a fantastic activity.

Our instructors will kit them up, give them a full safety brief and then take them on a supervised caving and climbing experience throughout the whole centre. Whilst we are taking the kids climbing you can relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet!

Ratio:  1:6 (ages 8+)
Ratio:  1:4 (ages 5 – 7)

Length of session:  1 hour

Price: £15.00 per person (includes all safety equipment). 

Private Tuition:

If you’re looking for something more specific; perhaps you want to learn to boulder too, give the kids a tougher challenge or simply want your instructor’s undivided attention then a Private session is the thing for you!

You can book each session for up to 4 people and it will be completely tailored to your requirements.

Ratio: 1:up to 4

Price: 1 person – £30 per hour, 2 people – £40 per hour, 3 people – £45 per hour and 4 people – £60 per hour (includes all safety equipment).

 

All of our sessions run daily but please book early to avoid disappointment!

Please speak to a member of the Reception Team or call us on 0844 880 8866 to book your place!

SIBL comes to Craggy2 this Sunday! (16/10/2011)

October 9th, 2011 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Newsletter, Sutton News

Round 1 of the Southern Indoor Bouldering League comes to Craggy2 (Sutton) on Sunday 16th of October 2011!

SIBL is a fun series of competitions that runs throughout the South of England each year.  It is aimed at climbers of all standards with grades starting at V0 (font 3+).  The Round held at Craggy2 each year is one of the most highly regarded rounds, both for the quality of the venue and also for the quality of the route setting.  This year we’ve got Mark Croxall setting the problems again so there is sure to be the usual variety of weird and wonderful for climbers of all grades to contend with!

Is SIBL just for serious competitors?
No! The beauty of SIBL is that it’s open to all and whilst still having a competitive serious side everyone has the chance to win with spot prizes awarded through out the day. Also, you’re guaranteed a great atmosphere with climbers of all abilities trying to solve the problems. It’s a fun day out, above and beyond anything else.

How do I get involved?
It’s really simple, you can either pay for entry on the day, which is £15.00 for seniors or £10.00 for juniors or pre-register for all 6 rounds at http://www.sibl.co.uk/register_2008.htm and get 1 round for free! If you are not competing you can still come down to Craggy2 and watch as the comp unfolds. Registration starts at 9:30 with the juniors comp starting at 11:00 and seniors at 12:00.

Anything else I need to know?
Craggy2 will be closed for public climbing until 17:00 on the day, with the comp routes being opened up for climbing straight after the awards ceremony. For full details about SIBL see www.sibl.co.uk

For details on how to get to Craggy2 (Sutton) see: http://www.craggy-island.com/sutton-find-us.php
