FAQs
Questions people ask.
Anything else, ring us on 02380 171 808.
What should I wear?
Anything you can move in. Leggings, shorts, a t-shirt, whatever is comfortable. Climbing shoes are £3.50 to hire, free with any membership, and we have them in every size, so you do not need your own.
Can children come?
Yes. Climbing Tots is for 2 to 5 year olds, 4 to 13 year olds climb supervised by an adult, and 14 to 17 year olds can be signed off to climb on their own. There is a junior club too if they catch the bug.
How young can they start?
Climbing Tots takes 2 to 5 year olds, with a grown up alongside them the whole session. From 4, children can climb any time we are open as long as a responsible adult is supervising them.
Do I have to climb too?
No, but you do have to be there and watching. You do not need any experience yourself. One adult supervises up to [number of children, to confirm], and there is a short briefing the first time.
When can my teenager climb without me?
From 14, once they have been signed off. They climb with a coach who checks they know the rules and can look after themselves, and after that they can come on their own.
What is the difference between the clubs?
Junior Climbing Club is the weekly coached club, 5 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17 groups, £13 a session for the younger two and £16 for the oldest. Junior Academy is for young climbers who want to compete, by invitation, £16 a session.
Do you do birthday parties?
We do. We run the climbing, you bring the cake, and there is somewhere for the parents to sit with a coffee while it happens. Ring us on 02380 171 808 to check dates. [Party prices to confirm.]
