The Walls
The climbing wall at Harewood College is one of the best school walls in the country.
Constructed by King Kong Climbing Walls in 2011 it is split into 3 main areas;
The main wall
This wall has 12 independent rope lines with 2-3 routes on each, all of which can be top roped or
lead climbed. It ranges from 9-11m in height, varying from vertical walls to various overhangs
the largest of which overhangs an impressive 3m. Route grades on this wall vary from F4 to F7a.
The left hand edge of this wall has a featured over hanging section and the wall itself
is split by a challenging corner crack.
The beginners walls
This separate wall is ideal for beginners, warming up and those who want easier climbing.
It is 8m high with a selection of easier climbs on it from F3 to F6a. It has 5 rope lines on it with one
overhanging line. The rest of the wall is vertical with one corner climb on it. The bottom half of some
of this wall pivots out to provide a slabby start to some of the routes if required.
The traverse wall
Between the two roped walls is a section of traversing wall 8m long x 2.5m high. Set with a
variety of traversing routes it is ideal for warm ups, but can still provide a challenge in itself.
