The Company

• The Peak Bouldering Company was formed in July 2006 to develop and progress a project to set up and manage a dedicated indoor bouldering centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

The Product

• The Climbing Works is a dedicated indoor bouldering centre serving Sheffield, the Peak District and is a wall of National and International significance.

• The centre will only provide bouldering facilities as this is a climbing activity that has grown in popularity of recent years and is one of the main activities pursued by climbers in the adjacent Peak District – the Peak District National Park is the busiest National Park in the United Kingdom and serves as a magnet to climbers on a national level.

• Our management team will strive to encourage new participants to the sport of climbing, and to provide high standards of training and coaching to our customers, regardless of their ability. Due to the size of The Climbing Works and the nature of the design of the walls, we believe that we are able to cater for all customer requirements – from children trying climbing for the first time, to World Cup competitors preparing for international competition.

• The Climbing Works offers some very easy climbing with some dedicated beginners boulders and a large variety of easy to mid grade climbing for the more experienced climbers to use either as training or as part of their warm-up routine. All of the climbing surfaces will feature reconfigurable holds including micro and macro features to create a constantly changing set of climbs.

• The bouldering walls are a maximum of 4.5m above the landing surface ensuring that the walls conform to the relevant part of the forthcoming European Standard for bouldering walls (prEN 12572 –II).

• The centre includes toilet and changing facilities for the comfort of our customers and a refreshment/spectator area situated adjacent to the main competition area of the climbing walls. An on-site cafe, serving hot drinks and snacks will help to provide an atmosphere that fosters the social aspect of the sport.
