The Castle Climbing Centre

Earlier this summer, our legend of a coach climbed his way to the podium in the men’s B3 category of the World Climbing Para Series, Innsbruck. We got to chat with him to get the rundown on how the finals played out. He’s got the drive and determination of a champ, we’re very proud of him and chuffed to have him around.

Snippets from the Garden Party 🪴
Thank you to our community, old and new, who came by. We had first time climbers trying ropes in The Quarry, seasoned veterans battling it out in the CRIMP Comp, and everything in between. Pizzas from homespun and tacos from El Jardín. Dead hang challenges, tours and workshops about community building, Hapa Zome and the Castle Bees. Craft stalls and DJs, a kids corner and a pop-up cafe. We couldn’t have done it without the hours of work put in by staff and volunteers alike, but it’s all worth it taking a walk around on special days like this. Thank you, enjoy the rest of the summer🌞

Taking a couple spins round the BlocCc 🚗⏫

Last week Louis Parkinson took over the Loft for an afternoon of dynamic workshops, as well as a session on projecting, tactics and mindset. The energy was great, the bails spectacular, and the progression could not be doubted. Massive thank you to for his wisdom and talent, and to our setting team who kept him off his toes. Well done to all participants who took part and left their comfort zone.

Missed your chance to learn from Louis? Stay tuned for more of our athlete events throughout the year.
