Climbing used to be considered the preserve of adrenaline junkies but has now moved mainstream with the onset of indoor climbing walls. Its benefits can be split into three areas, Physical, Mental and Social. Climbing is one of the best total body workouts available and it’s a unique sport in which both men and women are equally capable. It’s not all about strength. It’s about finding balance in movement and technique. Each route or problem is like a puzzle that with practice builds the climbers problem solving and planning capabilities. Although the actual climbing is pretty much you against the wall you’re climbing on it is an inherently social sport usually done with groups of friends and no matter if people are of different abilities the variety of climbs at the wall allows them to climb together.

At Awesome Walls climbing centres you’ll find walls and challenges of every height and angle meaning that everyone can enjoy climbing from the very start. Climbing draws on far more qualities than simple physical strength. Balance, flexibility, confidence, determination, focus & problem solving all play a massive part in determining whether a climber succeeds. That’s why climbing is such a rapidly growing sport! Climbers with hugely different physical and mental attributes can still enjoy and progress on the same climb…. but accomplish it in a very different way!

WHY CLIMB?
- It’s great fun! Both physically and mentally challenging and a great adrenaline rush.
- It’s social. Climbers usually work in pairs – one person belaying (holding the rope) which means you are never alone. Climbers love to offer beta (advice) or encouragement.
- You can rock climb all year. With indoor climbing, it doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing.
- It is inexpensive. You can hire equipment very cheaply until you know you are hooked and with pay monthly, climbing is great value.
- There is a brilliant sense of accomplishment every time you climb. There is something incredibly satisfying about physically making your way to the top.
- Climbing is great exercise, you can burn up to 900 calories per hour!
- It teaches life skills – teamwork, problem-solving, exercise, courage and conviction.
- Climbing is never boring. There are so many routes on the walls, with a variety of challenges and these routes are changed regularly.
- It will make you a better version of yourself, challenge yourself every time you climb and learn important skills.
- It opens your life to awesome experiences. As you progress you may find the urge to climb outdoors where you can encounter breathtaking scenery and a wilderness adventure most people will never know.

I took my grandkids (boy 6yrs and girl 10yrs) to awesome walls Stoke and we had a great time. Excellent tuition was given. We all experienced lots of different types of walls and had a very energetic and enjoyable time. Great place for a fun workout.
Thoroughly enjoyed my first experience at Awesome Walls, so now I’ll be going weekly! Highly recommend for fitness and fun.
Impressive number of problems, very reasonable price. Received a free cup of tea for the weekday morning session.
Well, this was an awesome surprise to find in Stoke on Trent. Having climbed a lot several years ago I was very excited to see there was a bouldering centre close by, and what a place this is! There are tons of routes and well-graded climbs, and enormous cavern upstairs, a well-stocked cafe and great membership options. Add onto this that they frequently reset ALL of the routes, not just the high-grade ones and it’s the perfect place for me and my wife to build our skills. I have even brought my little sister here several times and she loves it, though trying to keep her away from the snacks in the cafe is more exercise than climbing itself sometimes. All in all, very little I would suggest could improve this centre, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the cafe is not to be sniffed at, and the prices are reasonable for the amount of enjoyment you get. Definitely worth a trip in my opinion.
