New here
Never climbed? Perfect.
You do not need to be strong, young or brave. You need about an hour and a pair of socks. Everything else is here.
Three steps, and none of them are paperwork.
- 1
Book an induction
Twenty five minutes with a coach who shows you how to fall safely, how the grades work and where to start. £16.50, and it includes that session.

Turn up a few minutes early
Wear anything you can move in. We lend you the shoes, and there is nothing else to bring. Park on site and register your car on the tablet by the desk.

Climb as long as you like
Stay all day if you want. After your induction you can come back whenever we are open, on your own, no supervision needed.
Coming with an experienced climber?
Then you can skip the induction for that visit. Fill in the waiver before you come and they can sign you in and keep an eye on you. Worth booking an induction later anyway, so you are not waiting on them every time.
The things people ask us first.
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.
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.
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.
Is there parking?
Yes, free on site. Please register your car on the tablet by the front desk when you arrive. It only takes a moment and it saves you a fine.
That is the whole of it.
Book an induction and you can climb here whenever you like, on your own, from the day after.
