Why it works

A present that is easy to get right.

  • Any amount, no expiry

    You choose how much goes on it, and there is no date it has to be used by.

  • Spend it on anything

    Entry, an induction, membership, classes, coaching, the café or the shop. It can be used with a special offer as well.

  • Theirs to share

    It is not tied to one person, so they can bring a friend along on it.

What people ask.

  • Do you sell gift cards?

    We do, for any amount, and they can be spent on entry, membership, coaching or in the café. They are bought through the booking system.

  • What is bouldering?

    Climbing without ropes, on walls that are not too high, over deep padded matting. No harness, no belaying, no partner needed. That is why it is the easiest form of climbing to start on your own.

  • Am I too old or unfit for this?

    No. Bouldering is problem solving as much as it is strength, and you climb at whatever height you are happy at. We have regulars in their seventies and people who came in having done no exercise for a decade. Older and Boulder on Tuesday and Thursday mornings is a gentle way in.

  • 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.

One less present to think about.

Buy it online, then email it to them or print it for the card.
