Title: Who are GB Sport Climbing
Post by: Teaboy on July 15, 2019, 02:19:40 pm

I always thought the Hub at Rickover was something the BMC had done to support the climbing team hut apparently it was these guys:

Good for them but just wondering what it is, is it part of the BMC?

The Hub training bouldering wall  was a concept developed by Rockover and some of the Team members. Rockover then sought to partner with the BMC whose endorsement as the official GB team training wall was helpful getting it sponsored and built but ultimately the Hub was funded, owned, set and managed by Rockover.

Seems like the contract with the BMC has terminated so they are no longer the “official training wall” and  have gone their own way now.
