The Castle Climbing Squad run structured climbing and training sessions for young people (10 to 17 years old) to focus on the progression and consolidation of their climbing skills in a fun, inspiring and supportive environment.
Since the Squad was launched in 2009 we have had multiple teams progress through our pathway and it has been a joy to watch them cultivate a love for climbing, with many remaining active climbers for life. We have also produced successful competition climbers, some of whom have gone on to win national events and even compete for their country on the international stage.
