History
The AOAC climbing wall was once just a dream. That dream became a reality when a team led by the then centre manager Roy Page, who with some phenomenal community support and time given by local business and individuals allowed that dream to be realised. After years of fundraising the wall was built and opened to the public on the 2nd August 2003. Since, that day the wall has provided a gateway to climbing for countless individuals and provided access for groups, schools and others to introduce the next generation to what is now an olympic sport.
We will always be grateful to Roy and Sally Page, Wayne Godson, Neil Harvey, Andy Hall and the countless others that made dreams come true for so many.
