Welcome to Keswick Climbing Wall & Activity Centre in Keswick, United Kingdom. The Climbing wall was set up in 1994 as the Lake District's first dedicated indoor Climbing facility, comprising over 400 square metres of Climbing surface. It boasts a large array of wall types: flat panels with 25 fixed ropes, a 22 metre long bouldering/leading wall of Entreprises imprint panels and a superb modern curvy resin bouldering wall by King Kong Climbing Walls which is heavily featured as well as having bolt-on holds. 2001 saw the construction of a 12 metre high tower at Keswick Climbing Wall & Activity Centre on which we run abseiling sessions. It is available for group hire for Climbing and abseiling as long as your group has a suitably qualified instructor

Keswick Climbing Wall & Activity Centre also have one of the best cellar boards in the country. We are unique in that we provide excellent facilities for complete beginners and experts alike. We cater for many of the Lakes' residential outdoor centres as well as visiting groups with our fixed ropes and slabs.
The wall also provides fantastic bouldering facilities for everyone from national junior champions through to Sir Chris Bonington. Keswick Climbing Wall & Activity Centre host regular regional competitions and run bouldering ladders throughout the winter.

We provide Climbing lessons for complete beginners, whether individuals, families or larger groups. Beginners are taught the basic safety principles of tying a figure-of-8 knot and belaying a partner. Full instruction is provided along with all necessary equipment. When the instructor feels that a safe standard has been reached - typically after an hour - clients are welcome to stay and climb as long as they wish without direct supervision.

These lessons cater for all ages, group sizes and abilities and are a great introduction into this ever-increasingly popular sport.
