With a large number of indoor walls across the North East (roped and bouldering at venues such as Newcastle Climbing Centre, Sunderland Wall, ROF59 roped only such as Newburn Leisure Centre and bouldering only such as Eden Rock (Newcastle), Climb Newcastle (The Pool in Byker, The Valley in Ouseburn) and Friction Bouldering) there is plenty of variety and learning opportunities.
