Climb Central Manila: 6 Reasons to Climb at Manila’s First Facility with Auto-Belay System

Climb Central Manila

Being a country bountiful in outdoor attractions, climbing is an activity that has been around for years and enjoyed by people of different ages, coming from different backgrounds. It only makes sense that several indoor climbing facilities are set up around the metro to suffice the need for an accessible play area and training on days we have to confine ourselves to the city.

4. Fun fitness

Climbing began as a rugged outdoor activity but is now evolving into a lifestyle sport. After the initial payment, a maximum fee of Php 400 for an entire day really ain’t bad, right? The benefits of rock climbing to your overall wellness are a handful. You need to engage your full body mechanics and master the art of balance and control. It’s a great alternative to your usual fitness routine!

3. Variety and space

The moment you walk past Climb Central’s glass doors, you’ll find your eyes extending far across the depths of the spacious 750 sqm area, housing imported and brand new equipment with two floors of climbing goodness that I’d highly doubt you’d maximize even after an entire day. It’s also great that they change their routes and combinations every three months, which constantly challenges you and gives you a reason to come back again and again.

  • A kiddie wall or up to 10m high using auto-belays and easy-to-use safety systems
  • For experienced climbers, a 12m lead climbing wall and boulder area

1. Its unique Auto-belay system

Climb central is the only climbing facility that offers this unique feature, which is really convenient. You can actually can go there solo and train on your own. Imagine the auto-belay system to be similar to a measuring tape that is pegged to the 10m finish line, where your rope feeds slowly as you climb and  gradually elongates when you put weight on it when lowering down. It makes climbing even more accessible!
