FAQs
Questions people ask.
Anything else, ring us on 02380 171 808.
Do I need to book?
Not usually. You can walk in and climb, though weekday evenings get busy. If you have never climbed before, book an induction so somebody can show you round properly. It takes 25 minutes and costs £16.50.
Is there a joining fee?
No joining fee and no contract. Memberships are monthly and you can cancel whenever you need to. If you are not sure yet, a day ticket or a punch card is a sensible place to start.
When is it quietest?
Weekdays between 10:00 and 16:00 are off-peak, when it is quieter and entry costs less. Weekday evenings are the busiest.
How often do the problems change?
A different wall is stripped and reset every Friday, so there is something new every week and the whole gym turns over across the cycle.
What is the ICWC benefit?
We are a founding member of the Independent Climbing Wall Collective. Members get free visits to other independent walls in the collective, which is very handy if you travel.
What counts as off-peak?
Weekdays 10:00 to 16:00. Everything else is peak. If you are on an off-peak ticket or membership and want to stay into the evening, there is a £3.50 peak upgrade at the desk.
Is there a training area?
Yes. Weights, racks, rings, a board and space to warm up properly, all next to the walls. It is included with climbing memberships, and there is a gym only membership at £9.95 a month if that is all you want.
Can I freeze my membership?
Yes, and it is free. Injuries and long trips happen. Talk to the desk or email us and we will pause it.
How do the grades work?
The colour of the holds only shows which holds belong to a climb. How hard it is is shown by the shape on the tag where the climb starts: the more sides the shape has, the harder the climb. We do not put V grades on our climbs.
