Climbing

The video opens with an exterior shot of Team Warwick's Sports and Wellness Hub with the University of Warwick wordmark overlaid, followed by close-up shots of the climbing wall and its colourful holds with the EP Climbing Logo and slogan 'Brings climbing to everyone' overlaid to show the partnership between Team Warwick and EP Climbing as they developed the new climbing walls at the Climbing Centre.

The video then introduces Alan Jephcott, Climbing Centre Manager, who discusses the impact of climbing and the new Climbing Centre facilities. Climbers move across a series of tall, angular climbing walls featuring the new, varied and adaptable climbing routes. Inside the Climbing Centre, climbers of different ages and abilities are shown preparing for and taking part in climbing.

The film shows the transformation of the climbing space, including views of the previous structure and construction work taking place. Architectural plans are shown, highlighting the areas of the climbing wall being developed and the new layout and design. Penny Jones-MacKay, Climbing Centre Duty Manager, is then introduced as she stands infront of the climbing wall whilst it was under construction discussing the transformation process and the quality of the work.

As the film progresses, climbers are shown using the new walls, reaching for holds, moving between routes and working their way upwards. The new branding is visible across the climbing surfaces, with bold geometric shapes and contrasting pink, purple and white sections creating a distinctive visual identity.

Staff and climbers are shown talking together within the centre, while others prepare their equipment and climb in the background. There are shots of instructor-led climbing classes interspersed with shots of staff and construction workers working together. The space is busy with people taking part, demonstrating the range of activity taking place across the climbing centre. Close-up shots focus on climbing holds, ropes and hands gripping the wall as climbers make their way along different routes. Wider shots reveal the scale of the facility, with multiple climbers using the walls simultaneously.

Ciara O'Leary, Climbing Centre Duty Manager, is introduced as she discusses the excitement around the new climbing wall, specifically pointing out that there are 20 auto-belays, whilst climbers of all ages partake in a range of climbing activities behind her.

The final shots showcase the colourful new design and the active climbing community using the facility.
