CLIMBING enthusiasts can try their hand at a new challenge at a sports complex.
Eastbourne Sports Complex, in Darlington, officially opened its climbing boulder yesterday.
The boulder will enable new climbers to experience the sport, and allow experienced climbers to develop their skills.
The project was funded by a cash injection of £50,000 from Barclays.
Climbing shoes are available from the complex. Qualified instructors are able to deliver training sessions.
Darlington MP Alan Milburn, who officially opened the boulder, said: "It gives me great pleasure to be opening such a unique facility in Darlington."
Anyone can use the boulder, which is open from 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 4pm at weekends. For more information, call 01325-243188.
