First Time Climbers
Taster Sessions
We recommend all new climbers take part in a taster session, this is an introductory session where our instructors will show you how to safely use the centre. We’ll guide you through warming up and landing safely, and get you up to speed with the layout of our centre and our difficulty scale. We’ll introduce you to some basic climbing technique so you can progress confidently on future visits. A taster session is required for inexperienced adults to supervise children in our centre, we’ll take you through the potential hazards of a bouldering wall so you can supervise safely. Taster sessions last up to 45 minutes with one of our staff and can have up to 8 participants. Entry and shoe hire for the day is included, meaning you can stay after the session for as long as you like. Please note, if you are supervising children after the taster, we operate a strict 1 adult : 2 U14 supervising ratio. For children aged 14-17 they can complete our junior assessment after the taster, this allows them to climb unsupervised in the centre. Taster sessions are £20 for participants who are climbing and free for any who are just supervising.

Ladies Social Climb
Our Social evenings aim to build community, motivation, encouragement and a fun and friendly atmosphere.
These are perfect if you are looking to meet up with some friendly faces, get some encouragement and motivation, get some hints and tips form our coaches, and just hang out and climb together !
These will be relaxed sessions and although they will be led by a coach, it will not be as structured as our weekly coaching sessions.
Some weeks we will have a theme (endurance, competition, footwork etc), some weeks we will split and do our own thing in smaller groups or try the new area sets and some weeks we will just chat and drink coffee 🙂
But we will always have fun !
Running alternate Friday evenings 7pm-9pm
They are free of charge to join, though regular centre entry does apply.
We will meet in the Café area around 5 minutes ahead of the start time.
