The Boulders team; they're a great bunch of people and next time you spot one make sure you say hello.  We want to hear about your latest adventures, especially if it involves climbing rocks!

It's not a cliché to say it, our team is everything.  Without these guys running the show, setting the routes, taking everyone climbing, playing their part and generally being fantastic, Boulders just wouldn't work.

Don't be afraid to meet our team and quiz our knowledge either, we're more than happy to help you choose your next climbing trip destination or help fit a brand new pair of climbing boots.
