BOULDERING
Bouldering is a great sport to get into when you are just starting out on your climbing journey. It’s not complicated and it doesn’t require lots of equipment to get started. It’s climbing on shorter walls without the need for ropes with a safety mat underneath. There are set routes or problems that you can try to complete whilst trying not to fall off and the wall is high enough to provide an exciting challenge but not too high that it becomes intimidating. All you need is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag! These can be hired from reception if you don’t have them already.
If it is your first-time bouldering then we will give you a short induction and safety brief and then away you go!
ADULT BEGINNERS COURSE
Everything you need to know to be able to belay a climber safely.
This course is great for anyone over the age of 18 who wants to be able to climb at the Centre unsupervised. This is also ideal for parents who want to bring their kids climbing as it will save you money as you won’t need to hire an instructor!
What does the course involve?
The course is designed to teach you all the necessary skills needed for belaying safely. Belaying is the technique used for controlling the rope whilst the climber climbs. On the course you will learn how to put your harness on correctly, how to tie in and how to belay a climber safely. The course is split in to 2 parts and each part lasts 2 hours. Once you have passed the course you will then be able to climb and belay unsupervised and be able to bring up to 2 novices with you under your supervision.

FAQ - Do I need to book?
If you are new to climbing or want to bring the kids rope climbing then yes, you will need to book your space. If you are a competent climber and belayer then no, you can just rock up. You will just need to pass a short competency test on your first visit. There is a strict 2:1 child to parent ratio, so one adult can supervise two young climbers. This includes children who are not climbing.
