The centre, at Edgefield Road Industrial Estate in Loanhead, is aiming to become the primary centre for bouldering in Scotland, working with the Scottish Mountaineering Council and Climb Scotland to further the sport of climbing and introduce new people to the many benefits which can be gained from it.

Managing Director Michael Stainthorpe said: “I’m very proud to be opening our second Eden Rock centre here in Edinburgh. We’re really looking forward to meeting local climbers and introducing newcomers to the joys of climbing. With plenty of fun events and community projects planned, we can’t wait to get started!”
