Click hereRokt Climbing Gym opened at 10am on Saturday 2 April.
After frantic weeks of preparation, with hordes of local climbers and even non-climbers queueing through the door to volunteer their help, Brighouse’s new indoor climbing venue was ready to go.
Despite last minute hiccups with the mat covering, the carpet team worked 30 hours a day to meet the deadline. Walls which were bare only a couple of days previously were besieged by enthusiastic route setters. Electricians, plumbers, joiners hung from every girder, day and night. This was community spirit unrivalled.
To complete the final tidy up on Friday night, a giant curry on the balmy terrace overlooking the Calder. So, get down there and try it… but remember this is only Phase 1!
