The 8-Week Rotation

Join us for 8 weeks of progressive climbing training. You can attend as a one off or come along for the whole shebang. Totally up to you.
1

Back to Basics

This session takes it back to the foundations - movement, footwork, body position - and helps you identify where your technique might be quietly holding you back.
2

Advanced Footwork

This session digs into more advanced footwork on trickier terrain... smearing, heel hooks, toe hooks and how (and when!) to use them!
3

Body Position & Route Reading

This session focuses on setting yourself up for success, by understanding more complicated sequences before you climb them.
4

Slab & Vertical Climbing

Building confidence and upping the skill level to make technical, slabby climbing feel controlled rather than terrifying!
5

Consolidation

This session is a chance to practice everything you've learned so far, with coaching focused on identifying what's improving and what still needs attention. Expect honest feedback, useful drills and a clearer picture of where to direct your energy.
6

Steeper Ground

Diving deeper into the steeper... We'll look at dynamic movement, lock-offs, efficiency and reading sequences on steep terrain. If the interest is there, we may also introduce you to Carol Boarderman - our 40° custom woody.
7

Endurance

This session is all about building on your endurance, including how to get the most out of the circuit board and how incorporate endurance training into your own climbing.
8

Projects

This session is built around more specific sticking points that come up, and helping you tidy up any unfinished business!

Hear it from the FBR community

"...The absolute highlight for me is the route setting by far. Some of the most creative and technical routes I have seen, a few dynamic climbs as well, with a bit of powerful stuff if that's what you're looking for. The grade range seems good too (not insanely soft like some gyms) and I pretty much guarantee if you spend a few hours here challenging yourself here, you will become a better climber. Thank you for an amazing day trip, worth the 1hr drive from Bristol any day!!!"

"My son (12) and I, who are V4 climbers, found a large number of routes at our level in the two very decent sized rooms - more than we could manage in a single visit. There was interesting setting and it seemed consistent in grading"

"I have used this space in a professional and personal capacity and every time the staff have been amazing. Their professionalism mixed with a sense of humour (very much needed in today's world 🌎) shows their customer focus is second to none. The facilities are fabulous 👌 and the ability to hire shoes etc and purchase items as well is a great business model. All around I would highly recommend this space for beginners (definitely me!) and experienced climbers alike. The walls get changed frequently so it is definitely a place where there is always a challenge. Well done FBR and team 👏 Highly recommend"
