Climbing Wall

Climbing is a unique and dynamic sport and delivers exciting rewards both physically and mentally.

Our 7m climbing wall simulates the curvature and complexity of natural rock and is a fantastic addition to the CitySpace Fitness facility.

The routes are designed and graded to welcome experienced and novice climbers.

Our auto belays are perfect if you are new to climbing, don’t know how to belay or want to spend your time climbing on the wall rather than taking turns to act as a belay partner.

The automatic belay device takes up the slack as you climb, thereby negating the need for a belayer on the ground. When the climber reaches the top, or if you have to descend, the device automatically secures the climber and slowly lowers them to the ground. After a short induction, just ‘click & climb’.

Climbing wall sessions are only £5 per person or free of charge if you have an All Inclusive CitySpace Fitness membership.


For bookings or further information contact our CitySpace Fitness Reception on 0191 515 2009 or email cityspaceenquiries@sunderland.ac.uk
