Science of Manchester
17th Oct 2010
On Monday the 25th October we are opening early at 10am and hosting with Salford Uni and the Manchester Science Festival, the 'Science of Climbing'. It will be a great day where the uni have put together a load of experiments that you can get stuck into, based around climbing. Also every hour from 10 -3pm we are holding 40 minute coaching sessions aimed at beginners to intermediates, those climbing between V0 – V5/6. If you fancy some coaching then just call us to book, so as to not be disapointed and the cost is your entry.
Some of the things you can have a go at are:
· Measure your grip strength and compare to one of our centre staff
· Try and hang onto the rotating climbing wall, and have the sensors measure the forces you exert whilst hanging on!
· Test your luck on the balance beams or slack line; see how you can improve your balance.
· See how different types of climbing ropes work and much, much more
· Make a protective helmet for an egg, and see if it survives the egg drop. If yours survives you could win a free entry to Rock Over Climbing
