Climbing facilities
The Pleasance sports centre houses our two climbing facilities: the Tower climbing wall and the Rock bouldering area.
Climbers of all levels are welcome at both areas. Novice climbers are required to complete a safety induction course. Experienced climbers may self-register.
Access is now available to all CSE users.
