Testimonials
“Some of our best climbers have come to us from the Dolphin Centre. Two of the boys are among our top climbers and are in the academy competition squad. One of them climbs 7c+ lead at 14 years old. He’s massively competent and very successful on the competition scene. He podiumed at Blokfest this year. This is a huge testament to the quality of climbing coaching Carl and Gerry are providing at the Dolphin Centre.” Sam Galligan, Senior Instructor, Parthian Reading
