This Easter weekend, with the weather looking iffy, get yourself down to Climb Newcastle where you can take part in their Easter Challenge. On Friday morning the team are setting a new yellow (very seasonal) circuit in the range fb 5 to 7c+. One lucky person who does the most yellow problems in each of the 6 categories of male/female junior/senior/vet will win one of the delicious (Thornton's) Easter Eggs belonging to Chris Graham, Climb Newcastle owner and self-confessed chocoholic. Plus it's a great opportunity to get your revenge on a mate who beat you in the Climb Newcastle Winter Bouldering Series!

Information Poster

To mark Newcastle Climbing Centre's first birthday on the 26th of March, we are inviting our customers to join us for a free lecture with Alan Hinkes OBE. Start time 8pm & free to all registered users of the centre, to book your place please ask at reception in person.

Alan Hinkes is the first Briton to climb the world's highest mountains. These are the 14 8000m peaks. Only 12 people alive who have achieved this feat, which is the same number of people who have stood on the moon.

It has been brought to our attention that there has been some inconsiderate parking at Shaftoe Crag.
As a consequence the Farmer has requested that climbers do not park near the lake (marked as ‘Limited Parking’ in the Bouldering Guide) but on the right immediately after the cattle grid before going down the hill.

This is a private road and vehicular access is a privilege not a right.

Please respect the Owners wishes and drive and park responsibly.
