We have been designing and manufacturing climbing holds here in Sheffield, UK for over 15 years, and have been involved in commercial matting for over 10! Everything we do at Core Climbing is done in house by our specialist team of employees.
At Core Climbing Ltd we design, carve and manufacture climbing holds in Sheffield, England. Core was formed in 2008 by three Sheffield based climbers – Leo Moger, Stephen Royle and Tim Marsh. In 2014 we relocated to a larger factory in Sheffield which has allowed the business to grow and develop, and we continue to strive for the highest possible quality in everything that we do, from materials to shapes and service.
Being the keen climbers we are, having the legendary Peak District right on our doorstep is a great inspiration. Running our own business means we have to work hard, thankfully though we can occasionally head out if conditions are exceptional; and as climbing real rocks is how we get our ideas, technically this could be classed as work! 15 years on and we now employ more than 20 people from the Sheffield area, but we are still intimately involved with every aspect of our business from the office to the factory floor.
Our 12 years of commercial matting, living in Sheffield, and decades of climbing outdoors has given us a unique insight into the world of matting. In late 2021 we made the decision to use this knowledge and start manufacturing outdoor bouldering mats. After a long design process we now have a complete range of crash pads, with a wide variety features perfect for any boulderer in any location.
The Core home wall system is a slimmed down version of our proven commercial wall matting. The 200mm thick modules are completely modular and can be arranged and secured together in any orientation. Measuring at 1190mm x 985mm the cellar board matting system can be installed and moved around easily or stored away when not in use. Modules available with or without a carpet.
All of our Training board matting systems are completely customizable, for a quote on bespoke Cellar board matting systems get in touch via our contact us page.
At Core Climbing we supply a range of commercial matting options for climbing and bouldering walls. From Fold-up matting in multi-functional rooms, to emergency matting in climbing gyms. All of our matting options can be fully bespoke and customised to your requirements, whilst maintaining adherence to any regulated standards. We also provide a full installation service, site surveys and thorough ongoing maintenance.
