About

NCC Lenton

Nottingham Climbing Centre Lenton is the bouldering-only sister site of NCC's roped centre at New Basford, in a large industrial unit on Prospect Place, Lenton. It bills itself as Nottingham's newest bouldering venue.

The climbing

  • Bouldering: more than 200 problems graded 4 to 7c, reset zone by zone so there's new climbing every week
  • Comp wall: a big competition-style wall with an overhanging section
  • Training: a dedicated training room with two training boards

Learning

Beginners can book a one-hour Open Bouldering Intro (18+), and families a one-hour Family Boulder Taster that teaches adults to supervise their children. Bouldering Academy offers small-group coaching for climbers wanting to move beyond the lower grades, and one-to-one coaching is available by phone. There is a weekly women's social night on Thursday evenings.

Visiting

There's a one-off registration fee, which also covers the New Basford centre. Shoes and harnesses can be hired, and the centre has a small shop, indoor bike parking, a pool table and a work area with free wifi.
