Craggy2 restricted public climbing on 28.01.2012 due to LUBE

January 18th, 2012 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Sutton News

That’s an attention grabbing title if ever I saw one…

Craggy2 is hosting Round 3 of the London University Bouldering Event on Saturday 28th of January 2012.

We will be closed for public climbing between the hours 0f 10:00 – 15:15 and will look to open to the public asap after that. If you fancy coming down to spectate everyone is welcome to cheer on the competitors.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

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

Craggy2 half-term Junior and Mini Fun Sessions!

May 23rd, 2011 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Sutton News

Stuck for something to do with the kids this half-term? Then why not book them onto one of our Junior Fun or Mini Fun sessions here at Craggy2 in Sutton?

It’s an hour of instructed Caving and Climbing fun for only £15.00 per person. We’ll kit them up, give them a full safety brief and then take them off your hands whilst you relax for an hour. They’ll have a chance to go caving in our indoor caving system and have a go at Bouldering on our fantastic range of climbing problems. What could be better?

We’ve recently changed our policy on under 8yr olds, and now cater for children as young as 5! Children aged between 5-7 can now take part in activities here at Craggy2, when booked onto our Mini Fun Sessions. To make things easier for you parents, these Mini Fun Sessions take place at 12.30, meaning you can book your wee ones onto a Mini Fun Session, whilst your older ones can be booked onto the Junior Fun Session at the same time! (Junior Fun Sessions suitable for children aged 8-14.)

We have a limited number of spaces available on our sessions which run every weekday of the holiday (Monday 30th May – Friday 3nd June) at 11:00, 12.30 and 14:00, (11.00 and 14.00 Junior Fun Sessions only). Call our delightful reception team on 0844 880 8866 now to book!
