Urban Rock are on board!

Urbanrock is very happy to announce the opening of our new specialist climbing shop at Reading Climbing Centre when it opens in September.

At Urbanrock we are proud to call ourselves The Climbing Experts. Our aim is simply to be your first choice for climbing equipment.

What sets us apart from other outdoor shops is that we are an independent dedicated climbing store.

We are confident that our selection of climbing equipment cannot be bettered and our product expertise is some of the best in the business.

Our products are carefully chosen to ensure that they will do the job they are supposed to do. Whether you are looking for clothing, footwear, a rucksack or a full set of winter climbing hardware you can be sure that the products we stock will do the job you require.

We are also well aware that you would rather be climbing than shopping, and with our stores based in the UK’s premier climbing centres this should no longer be a problem.

It’s all coming together…

Our wall has started to arrive folks! It’s not quite looking like a climbing wall yet, but with a bit of imagination you can see how it’s coming along!

Want a job?

As we head towards the opening of the centre, we are starting to look for enthusiatic, flexible and hardworking climbers to come on board on a part time basis! We are looking for people with a passion for climbing who want to pass this on to others through instructing our wide range of courses. You would also be involved in working on reception, and in the general maintenance of the centre. An SPA or CWA is an advantage, as is  First Aid qualification, but neither are essential. We will be holding interviews in late August/early September and are starting to collect applications now. If you would like to be considered, please send your CV to recruitment@readingclimbingcentre.com with a cover letter stating your availability and roughly how many hours per week you are looking for.
