C.W.I.F - Climbing Works International Festival - April 12th 2008 This year we thought we would do something different, we've had enough C.W.I.M for the time being so we thought we'd give you a bit of C.W.I.F. for 2008. So what is the C.W.I.F. - well it's more inclusive. A new circuit will be set that's available to all of our customers but it will also act as the qualifier for the evenings hardcore competition. Plus we will have a marquee in the car park with a BBQ and some beers to entertain you during the re-setting breaks. And if that's not enough we will also have the lovely Mr Niall 'Grimer' Grimes doing one of his after dinner speeches. And how much is this going to cost you. Nothing* more than a normal wall entry fee!! (*BBQ and drinks are NOT free though) The Details: The Circuit - 30 problems
ranging from easy(ish) to hard. 4 March 2008 Final overall results and Round 4 results can be found here>> Mens winner was Dave Barrans while the Womens was won by Leah Crane.

Its the first round of the Berghaus bouldering league this Friday night at The Climbing Works from 7pm till 10 pm. 25 problems of all grades to try, with mega prizes from Berghaus to try and win.
