Getting to grips with Castle Climbing Centre

Every Interaction has been appointed to collaborate with The Castle Climbing centre in London. Following their successful redesign of the Moon Climbing website earlier that year, the team was approached by a mutual connection to help the popular North London climbing venue develop its web presence with a contemporary, responsive website.

To become acquainted with the venue and experience climbing firsthand, the team was invited to participate in an introductory "Taster plus" course. On Thursday evening, Neil, Bo (their designer of four months), and Jon traveled to Stoke Newington for this introductory experience.

Tim, their friendly instructor, guided them through various climbing techniques and walls. The session included traversing a horizontal wall, climbing two high wall routes using ropes (top-roping), attempting shorter routes with mats (bouldering), and abseiling down a stunning 100-foot tower. For most team members, this represented their first climbing experience, and all thoroughly enjoyed it. They acquired knowledge about different climb grades, types, safety protocols, proper equipment use, and climbing etiquette.

This hands-on experience provided the team with enhanced understanding of both climbing and Castle Climbing centre, enabling them to better connect with the target demographic and create a more thoughtfully designed product. Those interested in taking the same course are highly encouraged to do so and can book online.
