The Castle Climbing Centre

On Saturday 19th August, The North Face will open the doors to one of the best climbing centres in London – The Castle, Stoke Newington. Londoners will be treated to free access throughout the day, and can also climb alongside a true inspirational hero Alex Honnold – the world’s greatest climber and recent record breaker following the world’s first free solo climb of El Capitan in Yosemite. Alex will also be joined by fellow world class athletes Hansjörg Auer and Jacopo Larcher to host sessions, which are open to all abilities and ages from 09.00-19.00hrs. Bookings are now open on the Walls Are Meant For Climbing event page at: www.facebook.com/thenorthface Aimed at making the sport of climbing more accessible and inclusive, The North Face is partnering with walls and facilities worldwide to make Aug. 19 a global celebration of climbing, with free climbing opportunities in cities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and China. The day is the first in a series of events and activities taking place across the globe that aims to bring people together through the power and community of climbing.The global brand campaign asks people to rethink the way we look at walls. Walls are places where people in the climbing community come together to test themselves, build trust, and strengthen communities. Walls aren’t meant to divide us, they unite us. Walls are meant for climbing. For more information on “Walls Are Meant For Climbing,” visit http://www.thenorthface.com/walls #ClimbWalls and @TheNorthFaceEU on Twitter for news and events.
