About Revolution Climbing Centre
Revolution Climbing Centre has been open since December 2002 and so far offered a great climbing experience for all abilities and ages. As a late addition to the Skatepark, the climbing wall at Revolution has all the facilities needed to offer even the most talented of climbers a challenge. The wall itself has also seen changes since it opened with the addition of a small overhang and extra panels now enabling a traverse wall round the entire centre! Plans are set for the future of the wall but your have to keep an eye on our news page as to what they are!


The centre also provides facilities for all kinds of groups and activities ranging from school outings to Birthday Parties.
At the start of 2005 it was decided that a new instructor/manager was needed for the centre. Previously it had been staffed by the original Skatepark staff but was deemed in need of someone that could devote their time solely to the climbing centre. So, in April 2005 Sam Johnson joined the team. Sam has been climbing on and off for almost a decade and taking it up seriously in the last four years. Having experience with taking groups both indoors and outdoors and a 'inside knowledge' to what climbers at Revolution want, Sam soon set about route setting and putting together a climbing club. Having gone through a full days in house training with a qualified MIC (Mountain Instructor Certificate) instructor, Sam got the go-ahead to be able to teach everything within the centre and has been able to open the abseiling tower to groups. As well as completing the in house training, Sam is undergoing his S.P.A award (Single Pitch Award) and has found his training to be of use when both teaching (in and out of the Climbing Club) and route setting. To contact Sam for booking within the centre email him at sam@revolutionskatepark.co.uk
You can keep up with what sam is up to both here at Revolution and his climbing trips away at his personal web site here: www.verticalhighs.blogspot.com
