Our purpose-built SRT facility is designed to challenge cavers of all abilities and to provide a clean, dry and comparatively warm place to practise skills.

There are 15 permanently rigged routes including all the usual obstacles, four sets of ground-level anchors and a platform with 3 permanently rigged ropes as well as over 100 anchors for users to rig their own routes.

The YSS actively wants to encourage caver training and the facility is here to be used. It can be booked by anyone - members, guests or visitors. Ideally this will be done in advance, but last-minute bookings by phone are also fine. Please see the note below relating to commercial use.
