It's launch day for a new moonboard at a Scarborough climbing venue.
To celebrate the first anniversary of Scarborough Street Rocks, on Sunday, the new piece of kit will be launched.
Here's Mel Bonney, from Street Rocks, with what a moonboard actually is:
"It's basically a technical piece of climbing training equipment that enables climbers to work on climbing problems that have been set by other climbers globally. It's connected via an app. Climbers in Scarborough can in effect compete against other climbers from across the world, and it really does take climbing from good to great, really hard problems on the wall, and it's really designed to make climbers better climbers."
Mel says, Street Rocks, which is based on Lower Clark Street, says she's so grateful to those who've fundraised over £10,000 in the past year:
"It's all about the power of community really. The community, the climbing community wanted us to add a moon board to our climbing centre. And so they set about fundraising for it, and we held a 24 hour sponsored cl on. We're delighted to welcome the wider community from three o'clock to come and have a climb with us and celebrate our first birthday. And just enjoy the vibe really."
