If your kids are new to climbing and want a diverse experience, booking them into one of our Taster Sessions is an ideal start to their journey. During these sessions they’ll enjoy roped climbing up to 10m, bouldering over crash mats, and low-level traversing, all safely under the guidance of our experienced instructors. You’re then free to relax and enjoy a drink or snack at our on-site café.

If you or someone with you is an experienced climber, then the kids will be able to enjoy activities within the supervisor’s level of expertise (e.g. bouldering, roped climbing, auto-belays). See our supervision rules below.

If you’re not an experienced climber and would like to visit without an instructor, please take a look at our options for Drop-In Sessions here.

We aim to have walls that kids aged 5 and up will be able to tackle and enjoy such as our Traverse Wall and our Auto Belays, and our instructed sessions are available from age 5. They must still have a waiver form completed by an supervising adult and be checked in at Reception.

Experienced climbers are welcome to bring kids younger than 5 under their supervision, but they may find fewer suitable walls to climb.

In order to bring Under-18s climbing, you need to be signed off with us as an experienced climber (over 18 years and a signed off competent climber).

If you are not yet registered, please follow the instructions on THIS PAGE to sign up as an experienced climber – then simply turn up, and we’ll do the rest here!

Supervision Rules:

• You may only supervise a maximum of 2 novice climbers per day.
• You are fully responsible for, and must remain with, the novice climbers you are supervising at all times.
• You must inform the novice(s) of all relevant risks and help them manage these risks
• You may only supervise within your own level of competence (E.g – if you are a Boulder Only user, you may not supervise roped climbing)
• If using the roped walls, you must back up the dead rope when the novice is belaying.

If you don’t feel confident enough to climb with kids just yet, we have sessions available to help you get there! Head to our Kids Climbing section to book a taster session now Kids Tasters
