Click hereKirklees may not have a large number of indoor climbing facilities but there are loads within an hours drive, possibly the finest selection of indoor routes and bouldering in the country.
Indoor walls are a great way to learn technique and get strong in preparation and training for climbing outdoors. Most will run courses to teach you the basics and introduce you to other climbers.
