London Indoor 'Experienced' Climbing

Come and join OutdoorLads at The Castle Climbing Centre! The Castle is the 'premier climbing centre' in South East England, receiving more annual visits than any other centre in the UK. Constructed within a massive Victorian pumping station it really does look like a castle. There are 450 routes over 95 lines set across 1000 metres of wall. With a range of slabs, cracks, roofs, off-widths, stepped roofs and long overhangs there really is something for every level of climber. The Castle has a busy, vibrant social atmosphere, to which the OutdoorLads climbers certainly add. We are a friendly group, breaking for coffee mid-evening to socialise.

Indoor climbing centres offer the challenges of climbing that you'll find on natural outdoor structures - simply indoors! It's a fun way to stay fit, you'll quickly begin to develop arm, back, finger and core strength as a result of the many reaches and holds that are repeated through to the completion of a climb. It's a great upper-body workout!
