Our Facility
|
The Bear Rock Climbing Centre is considered by many to be the Midlands best indoor climbing facility. The Bendcrete built facility is open to both members of the University and the General Public. The Bear Rock has hosted rounds of both the British Indoor Climbing Championships and the British Youth Championships. The Main Hall has a multitude of high quality routes ranging from Grade 3 to 8a, with new routes being set on a weekly basis. These are normally set by local or in-house route setters. This ensures we have minimum disruption to climbing in the centre, as the setting never takes place during our busy periods on weekday evenings. The routes themselves also reflect our customer base with the majority of our routes being around the Grade 6 area, but whatever your ability, the Bear Rock has what it takes to cater for your needs. Competition wall - This has been the venue for many National competitions in the past. It is a 13m high, curved resin lead only feature, overhangs up to 6m and offers routes from 5+ up to 8a. It has in-situ quick-draws in place on all lines.
Curved resin lead and top roping walls - Built using Bendcrete's new state-of-the-art curved resin system. These 11m high walls offer 60 routes from Grades 3 to 7b. Ranging from technical slabs and bridging routes, to powerful overhangs, pockets and cracks. In-situ quick-draws are in place on all the lines and in-situ top ropes are in place on some lines.
Featured plywood lead and top roping walls - These 11m high walls range from slabs to vertical/gently overhanging and provide 40 routes from Grades 3 to 7a. Bouldering - We have a dedicated bouldering room with a variety of angles and includes a 6m 80 degree overhang and campus board.
