1993?three climbers met and hatched a plan to build a climbing wall. One climber had the capital, one climber had the skills to build the wall and the other had found the perfect building for the Kendal Wall, the old Milk Drying Plant in Kendal.
By mid?1995?their dream evolved when the old Milk Drying Plant was converted into climbing wall and named the Lakeland Climbing Centre. The doors were opened to the new Kendal Wall in December 1995.
In?1996?the Main Wall was added at a height of 18.5 m and by the late 1990?s the Kendal Wall had gained recognition for its quality of climbing and was ranked in the BMC?s top 3 in England.? For 14 years?the Lakeland Climbing Centre grew steadily and developed a loyal and supportive customer base of climbers who appreciated having a major indoor climbing wall in an area of relatively low population. The Centre has also enjoyed group use from local outdoor centres as well as trade from tourists and seasonal visitors.
