UK`s leading climbers set for Cardiff`s first climbing festival

Three of the UK`s leading climbers are coming to south Wales this summer for Cardiff`s first climbing festival.

Boulders Indoor Climbing Centre will welcome Katherine Schirrmacher, Gaz Parry and Steve McClure to host a series of climbing technique classes on Saturday 22nd August and Sunday 23rd August as part of the Cardiff-based centre’s first anniversary celebrations.

With over half a decade of climbing experience between them, having climbed all over the world, the trio are set to teach climbers of all abilities improvement techniques over the two day summer festival.

On taking part in the festival, Katherine Schirrmacher a former-member of the British Competition Climbing Team said: “I am really looking forward to teaming up with Gaz and Steve to share our love of climbing and experience with fellow climbers in Wales. The concept of a climbing festival is brilliant and a great way for Boulders to celebrate their first anniversary. Boulders is an ultra modern climbing facility and it is fantastic that such a unique sport is readily available for people of all ages and abilities right it the heart of the city.”

The brainchild of business partners Rob Lawrence, a former British Army officer and Ollie Noakes, a former soldier in the Territorial Army, Boulders is one of the largest indoor climbing centres in the UK housing over 2,000 square metres of climbing wall. Since launching in August 2008, Boulders has taken niche sport enjoyed by few, and turned it into an alternative form of exercise to conventional activity such as the gym. In offering a dynamic sport in this way, the company has reaped the rewards.

On celebrating the centre’s first birthday, managing director, Rob Lawrence said: “Since launching the company a year ago it has continued to go from strength to strength. We are really looking forward to welcoming the talented trio of climbers to Boulders on what will be our first anniversary. Our climbing festival is set to be a great success. With a host climbing activities suitable for all ages, it is a perfect day out for all the family.”

As well as running a series of climbing technique classes, lectures, and competitions with goodies up for grabs, climbers will be able to refuel at the all day BBQ and party into the early hours on Saturday evening.
