Alter Rock is Expanding!

 

From Monday August 9th 2010 Alter Rock will begin construction of a brand new fin that will see a column built down the centre of the church incorporating an additional 28 roped climbing lines. The construction work should be complete by Monday September 6th and routes will have been set in time for our annual competition on the 11th (see competitions page for details).

 

This addition will more than double the number of roped climbing lines from 26 – 54 in the space of just three weeks.

 

There will be a range of angles on the new wall including both vertical and overhanging climbing and for the first time at Alter Rock a slab, which we hope will add yet another dimension to your climbing experience.

 

As you might expect everyone here at Alter Rock is very excited about this new climbing area and we are eagerly anticipating the end result.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to reassure customers that we will be open as normal and that all courses will be running as scheduled. Any specific changes will be reported on site but feel free to give us a call on 01332 367200 with any questions.

 

Top Ropes Reset - Friday 23rd July

PDF | Print | E-mail

 

Lines 4 – 20 have been expertly reset by Steve McClure.

There are 34 excellent new routes and they have already received lots of praise from the people climbing them.

 

This will be the last reset before the completion of the brand new feature which will more than double the amount of roped climbing in alter rock from 26 to 54 lines. On its completion we will be resetting the whole centre in time for our annual Derby Climbfest competition on the 11th of September.

PDF | Print | E-mail

The whole of the bouldering wall was reset on Wednesday 7th of July.

Jamie Cassidy came down to Alter Rock and set 40 new problems in just one day.

Why not come down to Alter Rock today and give lots of new problems a go, especially since its perfect weather to be climbing indoors this week.

PDF | Print | E-mail



Tom Randall, freelance route setter and climbing coach has reset the whole of the Rab wall at Alter Rock. 

Tom was in the centre from 9am Monday morning and had finished the whole wall by the early evening. 

There are lots of great routes for everyone to come along and try on the top ropes to the left and right and on the Rab lead wall. Routes range from grade 5 – 7b+ and there's also an ungraded project waiting to be conquered.
