Welcome to The Foundry Blog....

Opening its doors back in 1991, The Foundry has been at the heart of the Sheffield and UK climbing scenes ever since. Almost two decades on, the centre continues to provide a world class environment for climbers, whether you're new to the sport or about to tick your first Font 8b!

The blog will keep you up to date with the activity and achievements that are going on in and around The Foundry.

Hope to see you soon! - Neil Bentley (Centre Manager)

More new routes.... and a bank holiday.

Ash is currently stripping routes from lines K and M on the main wall. New routes will be up on these lines today and tomorrow.

Also, next week is a bank holiday.

That means, Monday 30th May, the Foundry will close at 8PM rather than 10.
