Archie takes time out from his studies and training to tell us how he got involved in climbing, what he has achieved so far and how CCB's new sports facilities are helping with his preparations. From winning the Irish Primary Schools Championships for CCB back in 2007, to competing with Olympians at the Senior GB Bouldering Championships last month, Archie is a true ambassador for the sport.

CCB's new climbing wall is scheduled to open this summer, providing Archie and the next generation of Campbell climbers with outstanding on-site facilities. We are grateful to all those who are helping to make our plans a reality by supporting the Sports Appeal.
