Bouldering Session

FAQ'S

• I'm new to bouldering, how do I get started?

  For those new to bouldering, on arrival you will be asked to watch our bouldering induction video along with completing an Acknowledgment of risk form. Following this we will ask you a few questions regarding keeping yourself safe in the centre along with showing you where things are! There are a couple of entry fee options that we’ll talk you through along with equipment hire, but you’ll be on the wall in no time!

• Can I bring the family?

  Sure! Bouldering with a group is great fun! Please be aware that 1 adult can only supervise up to 2 under 18 members and that all those taking part must have completed the relevant paperwork. If you’re new to the centre then this is best completed at reception so we can be sure that the right documents have been signed.

• Is there a minimum age?

  Yes and no. There is a minimum age for those looking to come on a session with our instructors, with sessions starting from the age of 3! If you are looking to bring your own children, then there is no minimum age, we just ask that you take extra care as this area is open to everyone and can be quite challenging for those new to the sport.

• Do I need to supervise my children?

  Yes! This is very important. Bouldering can be very dangerous if not managed correctly. We ask that all those under the age of 18 are supervised by an adult at all times, and that they are present and involved in the bouldering area. 1 adult can supervise up to 2 under 18’s at any one time. For more experienced under 18 climbers, we can look to get them signed off as unsupervised members, please speak with us at reception and we can talk you through the steps involved.

• What do I wear?

  We recommend that you wear comfortable sports clothing when climbing in the centre, as some of the moves require some flexibility and we’d hate for anything embarrassing to happen… We also recommend that you wear sturdy footwear, such as climbing shoes, which can be hired from reception.

• I'm just passing through for the day, is there a day pass?

  Yes there is. Prices can be found here. Day entry is a little bit more expensive than registered entry, so if you are likely to come back within the 12 month period we recommend paying the registration fee. Also as an added bonus, when you pay the registration fee you’ll get free equipment hire for the day!
