Having read in the papers (a week ago) about an indoor climbing centre, I decided to check it out this morning. It's via the other end of the carpark area next to the Badminton Hall ...
... where there was a car wash. Going beyond the car wash ...
... you will then get to the SICC. What caught my eye was the structure to the right ...
... which turned out to be the ...
... skateboard rink ...
... it was a "good-size" area, but seemed unused(?).
The SICC was a three-sided structure ...
... with the walls of "rock" studded with hand-holds and foot-holds (and safety ropes) ...
... it reminded me of the "fun" we had at the Outward Bound School.
I noticed one of the staff climbing up by himself ...
... he used his right leg to push himself "up" the rope (left side), then used the device (I don't know what it was called) to lock onto the rope (left side). This allowed him to pull (shorten) the rope on the right side. Then he repeated the above actions to move up step by step ...
... and arrived at the top in no time at all.
