Meet Jake: our indoor climbing expert

Meet Jake: our indoor climbing expert

When it comes to your passions, the sky truly is the limit – and Jake demonstrates this to us daily.

This week, we visited an indoor climbing centre, where Jake (quite literally) showed us the ropes. The centre, filled with towering walls and colourful climbing routes of varying difficulties, was the perfect place for a morning of adventure.

Jake’s climbing journey began when he was just 12 years old, and his experience shines through every move he makes. As a former instructor and a passionate climber, he knows his stuff. Taking advantage of the quiet atmosphere on a Monday morning, we explored a variety of climbing disciplines: bouldering, rope climbing, and an auto belay session.

From the very first climb, Jake was unstoppable. Whether it was the precision and strength required for bouldering, the teamwork and trust involved in rope climbing, or the independence of the auto belay, he approached each challenge with confidence and ease. It was great to watch him fly up the walls – he made even the most difficult climbs look easy.

At the end of the session, we were tired but happy – and built our energy up again with some cheesecake and coffee.
