Family Fun this Summer

Exciting changes are happening to our kids club. We’re adopting a new structure for our kids club and a new way of booking. Courses now last for 6 weeks and give you the chance to complete Level ONe or Two of the NICAS scheme.

Courses cost either

£55 for a one off payment

Or

3 payments of £20.

These changes will take full affect from September the 4th however we’ll be running a few pilot courses over the summer to give you guys a taste. Usual casual sessions are still available.

Level 1 Pilot courses start : 31st July and the 1st August

Level 2 pilot course starts: 4th August

Enquire at reception for more info.

we’ll also be running family crag days throughout the summer.

Family crag days are a great opportunity to get the whole family enjoying the great outdoors. These are full day sessions out climbing in the Peak District with our fully qualified instructors. All climbers over the age of 5 are  welcome!

Course Costs:                             Adults: £40,  Children £20

Great Summer Deals!

Whether you’re training for the next big project or just need a distraction from the beer garden we are offering some mega deals on climbing this summer.

Our 4 week pass is now even more of a bargain at £45.00, and if you buy one before the end of July it will last for a full 6 WEEKS!

If you don’t want to commit quite so much, we also have some great offers on single entry visits.

Introduce a Friend
If you are a member at either MCC or HCC, and you bring a friend, get them to sign up for membership! If they do, YOU get a free climb on that day.

Member’s Rates
If you are a member at any other wall, but not currently a member with us, you can get member’s prices!  All you need to do is bring your membership card for your usual wall, and come in and climb with a friend who is an MCC member!

So, if you get rained off or are just feeling keen, head on over for a climb! Remember folks, all memberships and passes for Manchester and Harrogate Climbing Centres are valid at both walls. Just ask at reception to take advantage of these great summer offers.

Back to the 1800’s in Bolton

Andy and Gareth have just been helping David Hurst
raise money for Children of Chernobyl, by abseiling of Bolton’s towering Threlfall chimney on Salop St. Bolton.

The chimney was part of David’s Great-Grandfather’s factory making components for Manchester’s Mills during the industrial revolution, now disused, David thought it could be  brought back into use for this good cause.

Helped by John Warburton’s Steeplejacks of Blackburn, Andy and Gareth rigged the abseil ready for David’s costume clad descent of the tower.

Keep your eyes peeled in the Manchester & Bolton Evening Newspapers for pics and write up’s on the event!
