Redpoint Climbing Centre

Open Evening Monday 28th Jan

29/01/2008 10:25:15

On Monday night we opened the doors for a sneak preview of the centre.

Most of the routes are set and most of the matting is down. Most of the electrics and plumbing is done. Just a bit of snagging to go then you can all be let loose on it!

One of our visitors Stef Lewandowski brought a camera and posted his thoughts on his own blog, which you can view here

Hia Guys

Thanks for the viewing yesterday, really impressed, really looking forward to getting on those walls.
You've done a great job and none of the pics I've seen really do it justice, you've really got to see it to believe it.

Not happy with Stef's comments on his website about Creation, I'm sure you guys don't agree either. Brum is a big enough place for two great walls to exist.

What a great place! I came at around 8:15pm, and couldn't bring myself to leave until around 10!

The possibilities for routes seem almost limitless, and the idea of a route using the bouldering wall then the leading wall was amazing!

All the staff were really welcoming and friendly, and I'm really looking forward to starting climbing here!
I hope to be there as soon as the doors are open.
Thanks again,
Duncan
