Bristol boulderers are in for a treat as the Climbing Works announce plans for Climbing Works 2 in the city.

Motivated by the unprecedented success of the Climbing Works in Sheffield, the team are currently in the process of developing a Climbing Works Bristol with Ron Barraclough. The building is a circa 1960s industrial unit with a floor area of 15246 square feet with its own extensive parking area.

The company’s goal is to create the best bouldering facility in the UK. Again.

• Opening at the start of November 2007 in Bedminster, Bristol
• The world's biggest and best dedicated bouldering centre
• Over 1300m² of climbing surface planned
• Suitable for all abilities

Richard Caborn, Minister for Sport is excited:

"Climbing Works is a fantastic opportunity for the people of Bristol and surrounding areas to gain experience in climbing in a safe and well supervised environment and offers people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to gain the skills needed to boulder (climbing above a padded surface) safely in a rope free climbing centre. Climbing Works Bristol will help cater for the regional growth in interest for indoor rock climbing. This comes at an opportune time as government strives to engage young people in sport and leisure. I was able to take my two young grandchildren (4 and 5 years old) on a session to the climbing Works in Sheffield, which they loved. Since the access is much easier than a conventional climbing centre they were able to climb straight away in a safe environment. Having seen the world-class facility provided in Sheffield I would highly recommend a Climbing Works for the City of Bristol to help in the growth and development of the sports and leisure industry”
