Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Health and Recreation Department
We have indoor climbing available at Gilford Community Centre and host outdoor climbing wall sessions at South Lake Watersports, Craigavon.
Climbing uses a whole range of muscle groups in both the upper and lower body. It exercises your back, abdominal and leg muscles as well as your fingers, shoulders and arms.
Regular climbing can improve stamina as well as muscle strength. In addition, all the reaching and stretching for holds improves flexibility and agility. Climbing can also improve mental health and general well-being through a sense of achievement after a climb is completed.
