Craggy2 route setting 27th February – 1st March 2012

February 21st, 2012 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Route Setting, Sutton News

A quick reminder that we are resetting the Rock Room here at Craggy2 on Monday 27th of February through to Thursday 1st of March 2012.

The Rock Room will be shut during the day for climbing whilst Mark and his merry men (+ Danie!) do their stuff, but we’ll endeavour to get it open again by 18:30 – 19:00 each day*

So that means the Thursday 1st March is Winter Boulder League Round 2 from 18:30 – see you there

* dependant on how hard we flog the jet washers to get the holds clean – erm hold on – that might be me….

Gaz is one of Britain’s most successful climbers in many disciplines of the sport.  A former British Leading and Bouldering Champion, he has competed for Great Britain at the highest level for many years, including winning the Arco Rockmaster Bouldering event in 2007.

As well as being a professional climber, Gaz is a climbing coach and is the current British Bouldering Team coach.

Sunday 25th October 2009 – Guildford

He will be running 1:1 sessions and workshops to help you get the best from your climbing. 

 

Mark Croxall

Mark is amongst the best climbers in the world.  He is an established member of the British Climbing Team and has been competing at world-class level since he joined the team in 2003.

The highlight of his competition career is his 1st place in the Birmingham round of the World Cup, which makes him one of a very select number of Britons to achieve a win at international level.

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.

Mark will next be coming to Craggy on:

Danie Rushmer

Danie is currently ranked 8th in Britain and has climbed 7c+ outside, placing her amongst the best female climbers in the UK.

At only 5’2″ Danie is very used to having to find new (and often quite interesting) sequeces in order to complete routes and boulder problems. 

When she is not climbing, Danie is our Centre Manager and one of our Route Setters.  She is available for Private Tuitions and can tailor her coaching to the specific requirements of individuals.

 

Ben Read

Ben is currently ranked 9th in Britain and has a huge amount of potential in both competition and outdoor climbing and bouldering.

When he is not climbing, Ben is one of our Duty Managers and Route Setters.  He is available for Private Tuitions and can tailor his coaching to the specific requirements of individuals.

 

Please speak to a member of the Reception Team or call us on 0844 880 8866 for further information or to make a booking with any of our Coaches.
