Harrogate, North YorkshireAbout Harrogate Climbing Centre
Step into the world of climbing at Harrogate Climbing Centre! We welcome climbers of all levels, from curious kids to seasoned experts. There truly is a climbing activity for everyone.
With a wide range of climbing activities on offer, there's something for everyone at Live For Today Climbing Centre.
Bouldering
Approximately 60 problems.
INFO
Bouldering is the ultimate introduction to climbing for adventurers who are eager to scale new heights without the commitment of complex equipment or extensive training.
This exhilarating sport strips climbing back to its raw essentials: just you, the wall, and a sea of possibilities.
Perfect for beginners, bouldering involves short, dynamic climbs over a mat – no ropes or harnesses needed.
This makes it incredibly accessible and a fantastic way to build strength, agility, and confidence safely.
Each climb is a puzzle; as you challenge your limits, you'll sharpen your problem-solving skills and physical abilities.
Our bouldering sessions are designed to empower you, whether you’re looking to conquer fears, improve fitness, or simply have fun in a supportive environment.
Auto Belay
Approximately 16 routes.
INFO
Auto belay climbing is an inviting gateway for adventurers who wish to rise above the ordinary, offering the thrill of ascent with the assurance of continuous safety.
This dynamic mode of climbing employs an automatic belay device that takes up the slack as you climb and gently lowers you when you descend or fall. This system allows climbers to focus solely on their ascent without needing a partner.
Ideal for both novices and experienced climbers, auto belay provides a solitary climb but with the safety of a harness. It's a superb option for those looking to practice their climbing techniques or simply enjoy a quick session.
Each climb becomes a personal journey, enhancing endurance and self-reliance. Our auto belay sessions are crafted to foster independence and boost confidence, helping you push your boundaries in a secure setting.
Top Rope
Approximately 160 routes.
INFO
Top rope climbing is the perfect adventure for those who want to experience climbing at height with the added security of a rope and harness system.
This traditional style of climbing involves a rope securely anchored at the top of the climb, with a belayer managing the rope from the ground. This setup ensures that climbers can attempt challenging routes with minimal risk, as the belay system prevents long falls.
Top rope climbing is excellent for beginners and seasoned climbers alike. It allows for a steady progression in skills and confidence. The climbs can be longer and more varied, offering a mix of technical challenges and physical exertion.
Each route presents a new challenge, enhancing physical strength and mental fortitude.
Lead
Approximately 90 routes.
INFO
Lead climbing is an exhilarating step up for those adventurers seeking to amplify their climbing experience with greater autonomy and challenge.
Unlike top rope climbing, lead climbing doesn’t have a rope fixed from above. Instead, climbers ascend with the rope and clip it into pre-fixed anchors along the route.
Lead climbing is ideal for those who have a solid foundation in climbing basics and are ready to push their limits. It offers a more intense, hands-on experience that rewards precision and quick decision-making.
The routes in lead climbing are diverse, catering to a wide range of skill levels, and each climb is a personal journey of endurance and technique. This style of climbing not only tests physical strength but also hones mental resilience, preparing adventurers for the higher stakes and rewards that lead climbing brings.
Training Area
Step into our dedicated training area, designed specifically for adventurers eager to elevate their performance and refine their abilities.
INFO
Equipped with a range of specialized gear including campus boards, circuit boards, pull-up bars, and various strength-training tools, this space is the epicenter of challenge and advancement.
Here, you can focus on the thrill of self-enhancement and the satisfaction of continuously surpassing your personal records.
Whether you're preparing for your next big climb or simply looking to improve your overall fitness, our training area is your launchpad to reaching new heights in your physical and mental prowess.
Embrace the journey and revel in the progress that awaits you at every session.
Indulge Cafe
Fuel your adventure at Indulge Café!
INFO
Nestled right where the action happens, Indulge is your go-to spot to grab a bite before you climb or to unwind a session.
Whether you’re craving a steamy cup of fresh coffee to kickstart your morning or looking to indulge in a freshly made pizza after conquering new heights, we’ve got you covered.
With various hot and cold beverages, delicious meals, and snacks crafted to satisfy the adventurer in everyone, you can relax and refuel at Indulge.
NICAS
Unlock your child's climbing potential with our Wild Climbers Club and NICAS classes (National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme) at our accredited climbing centre in Harrogate.
Learn To Lead
Step into the exhilarating realm of lead climbing with our Learn to Lead course.
Designed for climbers eager to advance, this course spans three two-hour sessions focusing on lead belaying, safe clipping, and refining climbing techniques.
Aimed at preparing you for the dynamic world of lead climbing, it's perfect for those already comfortable climbing at F6a and proficient in top rope skills.
Embark on this journey to elevate your climbing adventure.
Indoor To Outdoor
Take your indoor climbing prowess to the majestic crags of the Yorkshire Dales with our Gym to Crag sessions.
Designed to transition your bouldering and rope climbing skills to outdoor settings, this experience challenges you to elevate your climbing game amidst nature's grandeur.
