Hi all,

And so I give you, the long awaited results from round 3:

Ok, so who’s ready for some new routes in the Rock Room? Well you’ll not be waiting long! We’ve a whole load of new holds to set with (the funky red and white ones, brand spanking new from Osmose), and Mark Croxall will be back at the end of this month to set in his own unique style, accompanied by his protégé, Mike Hadcocks. Route setting will commence on Monday 21st February, and be finished by Friday 25th February.  As ever, we aim to have the room open by 18.00 every evening of that week.

On Thursday 24th February we will be having our infamous Boulder League, consisting of 15 brand new routes to clamber on (and on behalf of us over-worked staff, fall off!) starting at 18.30 (18.00 for the wee ones), with results at 21.30. There are 4 categories; Kids, Easy, Medium and Hard, and entry only costs a mere 1.50 on top of your normal entry – cheaper than chips!

So we look forward to seeing all your bright and happy selves brutalising all the new routes very soon!

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder that Mark and Mike (M&M?!?) will be resetting the Rock Room here at Craggy2 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week – that’s the 6th, 7th and 8th. As usual half of the room will be closed for setting  during the day and we will aim to have it fully open by 18:30 each day. The rest of the centre is open for climbing as usual. So with a watchful eye out for black ice get yourself down here for a go on the new routes :0)

Also as it’s a route setting week that can only mean one thing… Boulder League! The final round of our Autumn Boulder League will be running on Thursday the 9th of December.  Have a look at the events page of our Facebook page for full details.

Hi all,

A quick update for you to let you know of some dates for your diaries:

Here at Craggy2 we will be route setting the Rock Room on the 4th, 5th and 7th of October. Mark Croxall and Ben Read will be setting the usual mix of beautifully flowing delicate climbs to utter beasts to test your bouldering skills. As ever we’ll aim to get the room re-opened by 18:30′ish every day.

That means two further dates for you:

The evening of Thursday October 7th will see us hosting Round 2 of our Craggy2 Bouldering League. For full details please check out previous news posts and the Craggy Island Facebook fan site (it’s in the events tab!). The really important things are the Kids category runs from 18:00 – 20:00 with the Adults categories running from 18:30 – 21:30.. see you there!

On Wednesday  October 6th we are very pleased to be hosting a major club competition which unfortunately means the whole centre will be closed to public climbing until 16:00, after which normal service will resume. Just think of all those new competition routes to have a crack at!

And finally we are also pleased to be hosting a smaller club competition on Saturday 2nd of October which will mean the Competition Room will be closed for public climbing from 14:00 – 18:00 after which normal public climbing will resume. The rest of the centre will remain open for public climbing for the whole day.

Lots going on!
