Route Setting
We route set a different area of the centre weekly so there is always something fresh to try.
Setting usually takes place during the day on Mondays and Tuesdays (though can vary if there is an event), with the aim of being open for its first keen climbers by 5pm on the Tuesday evening.
The setting schedule is released monthly on our social media, alongside weekly beta videos (examples of how to complete the route), for those who are interested.
We are proud of the variety in interesting, fun and challenging climbs at Volume 1, which is all thanks to our excellent setting team. Check out the profiles of some of our core setters below.
