Oakwood Climbing Centre is a flagship project built by Andy Long and the team. The facility is 70% bouldering with one of the longest bouldering competition walls in the UK. We have a 2 tier training zone which includes an articulated lattice board, a 45 degree Woody and on the second floor we have a large circuit board. The remaining space is filed with 12 top rope/lead climbing walls, 4 auto belays and finally a dedicated kids zone.
