O / T:- Has anyone been to Keswick Climbing Wall?
Steve Hignett - 23/7/11 at 03:23 AM

Hi All,

As above please!

I just want to know whether it is a difficult wall or not - as some know I'm currently sporting a relatively fudged back, although I can get about due to some lovely (prescribed) drugs, but I don't want to push myself too hard, and I also don't want to go there if it's either too: hard/soft etc...

Also, I'd prob be going with my Dad who hasn't climbed in years, my wife also, not climbed in years, (me too actually!) and my mum and 1 yr old, so is there anywhere close for a coffee, like a nice tea room etc?


Cheers, ML and thanks in advance!!!

Steve

Not done Keswick wall myself, but from the pictures: -






It looks like there's at least some in-situ top-ropes so you don't have to lead (which I presume from your description you'll want to avoid), and there's a bouldering wall so you can play as easy or as hard as you like on that. Doesn't look to have as much stuff as the Leeds Wall which I used to frequent, or Kendal which I've been to a couple of times but looks like there should be enough to entertain.
