Rock Over Climbing is a rock climbing gym, café, children's club, and gym located in Manchester. With multiple locations in Central Manchester, Bolton, and Sharston, Rock Over Climbing aims to bring the joy and thrill of rock climbing to everyone, everywhere.
The Manchester Central location, situated just 200m from Victoria Station, is Rock Over Climbing's oldest centre and the largest in the North West. Having been open for over 10 years, it boasts over 300 boulder problems, a dedicated event space, and a competition training area. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, Rock Over Climbing offers a wide range of classes and instructed group sessions for all ages and abilities.
In addition to regular climbing sessions, Rock Over Climbing hosts major competitions such as ROCfest, GB Titans, and the Greater Manchester School Climbing Championships. These events provide an opportunity for climbers of all levels to showcase their skills and compete in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Rock Over Climbing believes in ensuring accessibility for all visitors. The Manchester Central location provides step-free entrance via a non-permanent split ramp, and staff are available to assist those who require access via the ramp. While the centre is spread across multiple levels, separated by small steps or stairs, efforts have been made to make it as accessible as possible. Loud drilling may occur during reset days, but the centre aims to minimise disruptions during evenings and weekends.
To cater to various dietary needs, the café at Rock Over Climbing offers an allergen guide, and staff members are available to provide allergen information about their café items. Parking options include a car park close to the centre, with on-street short-stay parking available as well. The centre is conveniently located near Victoria station and the 59 bus stop.
Customers have consistently praised Rock Over Climbing for its welcoming atmosphere, supportive staff, and excellent facilities.

The Rock Fest bouldering competition, in particular, has received rave reviews for its organisation, friendly atmosphere, and impressive prize money for participants.
Rock Over Climbing is committed to offering a top-notch rock climbing experience for individuals of all ages and abilities. Whether you are seeking to try rock climbing for the first time or are a seasoned climber looking for a vibrant and inclusive community, Rock Over Climbing is the place to be in Manchester.
