Plans for an eight-metre climbing wall, which is set to be one of the biggest attractions of the new Wycombe Leisure Centre, have just been revealed.

The large construction, which will be available to people of all ages and abilities, will include 17 climbing lines and over 50 different routes.

As part of the ongoing construction of the Wycombe District Council site - which is at the half-way stage - the wall facility is likely to be one of the biggest attractions.

As well as the climbing wall there will also be an eight-lane 50 metre pool, a learner pool, 150 station gym, dance studio, 12 court sports hall, four rink bowls hall, two squash courts, a steam room and sauna, two function rooms and a café.

It has also been announced that the climbing wall will be accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities, with sessions starting from age four to adult level.

Open seven days a week, the facility will be managed by Places for People Leisure’s specialist climbing wall operator, High Sports, who will operate a full junior club programme, alongside family, taster and group sessions.

A comprehensive schools programme will also be offered, ranging from PE sessions through to GCSE PE, and an industry leading para-climbing club will also form part of the main activity programme.

The wall is designed to offer challenges for a range of abilities, including beginners and experience climbers.

For beginners, a standalone bouldering feature, complete with rock features and a soft floor, will allow new climbers to find their feet.

And there will also be a dedicated training space, the frequent high-quality route setting and unique climbing faces, like a twin pinnacle chock-stone abseil ledge, which can be regularly adjusted to vary the level of complexity.
