Teen unsupervised sign-off

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.]
