New to Climbing.

Welcome to the wonderful world of climbing!

Let’s start your journey. There are lots of ways to start climbing and different forms to try.

We have intro sessions to get you hooked to full blown courses depending on your preference, so let’s set you on the path to discover an amazing new sport.

If you’re looking to experience the exhilaration of climbing for the first time we highly recommend trying one of our Taster Sessions (£24 pp). In these one hour sessions you get to try all three forms of climbing the centre has to offer, bouldering, auto belays and rope climbing. After which you will not only have experienced how fun climbing is, you should have a good idea of what each form involves and which you would like to pursue!

For more information on the different forms of climbing, and to see other possible ways to get started, check out the options below.

  • Bouldering

    Bouldering is low level climbing without ropes above soft crash matting. You do not need any previous experience to turn up and give it a go!

    Click below for everything you need to know to get started with bouldering, and links to our bouldering safety video and Acknowledgement of Risk form, which you will need to complete before your first session.

    Adult single entry at peak time is £14.50 per person.

  • Auto Belay Induction

    Auto Belays are devices at the top of the wall that you can clip in to and they will catch and lower you down to the ground.

    You do not need a climbing partner and they are a great way to experience the full height of our walls without needing to learn rope skills.

    In the half hour induction you cover how to safely use the auto belays and the bouldering area. It is ideal for those who want to get started quickly, gain more experience bouldering before trying independently, and for parents wanting to supervise their kids climbing in these areas.
