NCC NEWS - SEPTEMBER 2011

 

Welcome to the NCC newsletter – keeping you up to date with the latest events and promotions from the North East’s leading climbing centre on a monthly basis.

NEW ROUTES


Micky Page is flying back from his latest trip to Rocklands in South Africa to help re-set in the central zone with our resident route setter Dan Wilson.

We also have a host of new macro features to set on the roped walls which will create some radically new challenges for all. The bouldering zone will also see a complete reset by the end of this month with 5 – 6, completely new circuits and over 70 new boulder problems.

It promises to be an awesome set for the Autumn!
