A section of the new Harrogate Climbing Centre design.
Designed and constructed by Entre-Prises Climbing Walls - a dynamic, vibrant and modern climbing centre is to be developed.
The centre is the brainchild of renowned climber, John Dunne - the man behind Manchester Climbing Centre. The Harrogate project includes over 65 climbing lines, spread over 1,000 square metres of climbing surface and incorporates an IFSC approved Speed Climbing Wall as well as a dedicated bouldering area.
Work has already begun on converting the ex-ICI factory. MCC chief route setter Andy Jack and British Bouldering Team member and regular route setter Dave Barrans, will be leading a team to provide the same top-quality routes as can be found at Manchester.
On the development of the centre, owner John Dunne said: “We're really excited to be bringing a premier venue to North Yorkshire. With the skills and experience we've gained in the ongoing development of Manchester Climbing Centre, we will be able to take indoor climbing in Yorkshire to a new level. The new centre is right next to some of the North's best crags and the climbing scene in the area is buzzing. We're really keen to contribute an excellent centre for climbers in Yorkshire and further afield.”
