Training Tuesday!⁠
⁠
With most of us taking a long break from climbing it's important to look after ourselves. One aspect frequently overlooked in a steady and progressive warm up. We recommend a period of 5 mins to raise your pulse, followed by a 10 climbs that feel very easy. Sometimes, to keep the intensity low enough, using any holds, making up traverses or not going to the top are good options. ⁠
⁠
Any training questions, put them in the comments below.

It's great to bring the outdoors in by opening up the rear of the wall especially on these warm weekends.⁠

Hi Avid fans! ⁠
⁠
Since reopening it's has been wonderful to see you all again and everything has been running smoothly. A common question is 'when are you quietest'? ⁠
⁠
In contrast to pre lockdown times, evenings haven't been as busy as before and we generally max out at 50% of our much reduced capacity.⁠
⁠
Back to the original question, we are quietest during the day until 5:30 and in the 2 hours before closing. At weekends, it tends to get quieter in the afternoon.⁠

Great reopening weekend, thanks to everyone who came climbing. A few of us are aching this morning, but at least we know that it won't take long to get back to where we were. ⁠
⁠
Quick recap on the new opening hours,⁠
Mon-Fri 12-9:30⁠
Sat & Sun 10-6⁠
⁠
If you've not visited us yet we'll be making the intro experience easier, more details to follow in the next day or so.⁠

We are really pleased to finally be able to open again, thank you to everyone from customers, staff and suppliers for supporting us through this difficult time. We'll all be adjusting to the new measures, so please bear with us as we learn and evolve. We know that our fabulous community will work with us and help us stay open and thrive. ⁠
⁠
Finally we thought we would explain why we aren't doing a booking system. Many European walls have tried this but it didn't work well and many have now stopped taking bookings. As Avid is a large centre with lots of circulation space and a ton of ventilation we are unlikely to get near the capacity recommended by the ABC and the limit we have set to make it feel more comfortable. If we do we will implement the 2 hour limit on climbing time to help the turnaround of climbers. We are all learning in these strange times and are confident our climbers will work with us.⁠

Only 2 days until we reopen!!⁠ Looking forward to seeing you again. ⁠
⁠
A few pointers as to what to expect; more information on our Covid page on the main website.⁠
⁠
We are operating on a limited capacity and have opened up the rear of the wall so there is lots of fresh, cool air coming into the centre.⁠
⁠
We have a new scanning and self serve check in station (non touch).⁠
⁠
There is a capacity checker on the website so you can see, in real time, how many are climbing. ⁠
⁠
The cafe is open but for takeaway/outdoor consumption only.⁠
⁠
All regular forms are now electronic and on the ipads or alternatively can be accessed via the website. ⁠
⁠
Liquid chalk is preferred, and please do not use loose chalk. This helps reduce chalk dust. ⁠
⁠
The gym is open but please wipe down equipment after use.⁠
⁠
Please ⁠
-do not come if you are feeling unwell and/or showing any symptoms.⁠
-wash your hands and use the provided hand sanitiser before and after your climbing session.⁠
-respect social distancing and bring your own water; we cannot refill bottles or cups.⁠
⁠
We will, of course, be following government guidelines so some measures may change. ⁠

Some great news, it has been announced that indoor climbing walls can reopen as of the Saturday 25th July. ⁠
⁠
We will be announcing more details shortly but in the meantime here is a photo from a few weeks back when the walls were stripped and fully reset, along with a few other changes!⁠
⁠
We cannot wait to see you all again, it's been a long 4 months!

Every day is a day closer to reopening.

⁠
We thought it was time to give you an update as we take stock of what has been a difficult few weeks. ⁠
⁠
First of all we would like to extend our huge gratitude to our lovely climbing community, you’ve been so supportive from kind messages, retaining your memberships, buying 10 punch passes and leaving google reviews. It all helps us remain positive and excited to re-open. ⁠
⁠
In the background we’ve been working on gaining as much government assistance as possible, so we can look after our staff as best we can. They’ve been incredibly understanding of the predicament we find ourselves in and have genuinely been amazing. We are looking ahead to the time we can re-open and at all the things we can do in the future. We’d love to hear some of your ideas too, just drop them in the comments below or DM us. ⁠
Stay fit, stay well and above all, stay positive. ⁠

It’s been a very difficult and turbulent week, one where we were uncertain what the future held for Avid. As the week drew to a close it became clear that the climbing community had our back. We cannot express our gratitude enough, you’ve been incredibly generous in not freezing memberships, buying 10 punch passes and long term memberships, we thank you. Equally humbling are the messages of support; after hours and hours trying to make sense of what’s happening these really do raise our spirits and give us the fortitude to keep going. ⁠
⁠
Thank you again, you are amazing and we’ll have one hell of a party when we are back to normal! ⁠

It is with sadness and many hours of deliberation

It is with sadness and many hours of deliberation that we have decided it is time to close. Our last day of opening will be Friday 20th from 12-10pm.⁠
We have stayed open as long as possible, not least for the sake of our staff, but now with the rapid changes happening daily we need to make everyone’s safety paramount.⁠
We know our wonderful climbing community will be there as soon as we can open again - we are going to need you all to keep this fabulous climbing wall going.⁠
We would like to thank our amazing Team who make us all smile every day and everyone who has climbed with us so far.⁠
⁠
There are a few things that will help us, until we get out the other side of this turbulent time.⁠
Keep liking and sharing our social media during our close down or even better share some of your great photos and videos of the wall or climbs you’ve done. We’d love to see them and if you tag in #avidclimbing we will re-share.⁠
Bring a friend in when we re-open and show them how awesome climbing is.⁠
If you can, buy a 10 punch pass tomorrow.⁠
Let us know the types of routes you love, we’ll be setting whilst the wall is closed so you’ll have lots of fresh boulders to try.⁠
If you’d like to freeze your memberships please email info@avidclimbing.co.uk. We will freeze any prepaid passes and will contact anyone who’s booked courses or events. ⁠
Stay safe and well and we look forward to climbing with you again soon.

We have understandably given the current situation

We have understandably given the current situation a lot of thought and our climbers and our staff are always our main priority. ⁠
..⁠
We believe our climbing community is sensible and well informed. We want to stay open as long as possible for those who want to and are able to climb safely. ⁠
..⁠
It is very possible in Avid to keep a safe distance from fellow climbers and manage personal hygiene with the public health hand washing guidelines. ⁠
..⁠
We will need to keep this decision under review daily but for now we will keep clean, stay open and welcome anyone who wants to climb. ⁠
