Volumes are AWESOME! In Case you’re new to the term, a volume in climbing is an extremely large type of hold. They come in all sorts of crazy shapes and are so big you can attach other holds to them. They often change the shape of sections of wall and so can create near infinite variety in route setting and climbing styles. Our founder, Markus Bowden, LOVES volumes, and when it came time to name our new centre it felt like a no brainer. That’s what we are. We change the shape of the wall and hope to bring people together by promoting variety in all things climbing. We ask people to think and work together to figure out the solution. And more than anything, we’re a whole lot of fun! We hope to see you all on the walls having fun really soon.
