Exploring the Manchester's Indoor Rock Climbing Scene
Spend a thrilling day trying out indoor rock climbing at some of Manchester's best climbing centers. Since it's September, the weather can be quite unpredictable. No worries though, indoor rock climbing is a perfect weather-proof activity that combines adventure, fun, teamwork, and physical challenโฆ
- Start your day at Rock Over Climbing, one of the largest climbing centers in the North West. As you navigate the wall together, you'll use teamwork and communication to reach new heights.
- After a lunch break, head over to Manchester Climbing Centre, housed in an old church, which gives it a unique ambiance. Here, you can try out different climbing routes that suit your abilities and even take part in a climbing lesson to improve your skills.
- Finish off your adventurous date by visiting Depot Climbing Centre Manchester for more climbing challenges, and perhaps even join one of their friendly climbing socials.
Preparation steps:
- Start by checking the opening hours and booking possibilities of the venues you plan to visit. Several climbing centers require prior booking due to Covid restrictions.
- Both of you should wear comfortable clothing that allows for a lot of movement. Since you'll be doing a physical activity, layers are a good idea, so you can remove outer pieces as you warm up.
- While all equipment is usually available for hire at the venues, it's recommended to bring a small backpack with a water bottle, towels, and a change of clothes just in case.

Some tips:
- From experience, beginners often fear they donโt have the upper body strength for climbing, but it's technique rather than brute strength that gets you to the top. So don't worry if it's your first time.
- No matter how adventurous you are, safety should never be compromised. Always listen to the instructor and use your safety gear.
- Remember, the aim is to have fun and quality time together. So, help each other out and celebrate each other's small victories โ be it scaling a difficult route or simply conquering your fears.
