Rope Race opened in June 1993 as a dedicated climbing centre in Marple, just outside Stockport,

we have three dedicated bouldering areas with a variety of routes suitable for all abilities.

September 2010 there will be a fantastic new 800 sq metre bouldering room.

The Fat Badger café area with viewing gallery serves hot & cold food and drinks.

`22`  is our outdoor clothing & equipment shop stocking a huge range of climbing & outdoor equipment.

A new meeting room is available for hire

We run indoor and outdoor courses ranging from beginners courses to SPA recognised qualifications. 

Our junior courses have always been popular especially our `Geckos` under 18`s climbing club which runs three sessions per week.

We are a Primary and Awarding Centre for the NICAS award.

We are AALA registered so we are able to take under 18`s outdoors on climbing and  run multi activity

courses which can be used as part of GCSE courses work.

We also have our own archery range which has been hugely popular not only with the local archery club

 but adults and schools and youth groups who have used it as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's scheme and outdoor education.

We run NGB qualifications in climbing, canoeing & kayaking, first aid courses, navigation courses & charity fund raising events
