FAQ's
Almost everyone new to NICAS will start at Level 1 and work their way up through the levels until they complete the scheme at Level 5. Climbers will begin with the very basics, and the instructor will teach them all of the skills set out in a handy checklist in their logbooks, and tick those off once they have been completed, so you can easily follow along with your child’s progress. Â
Participants will be grouped together with others also at a similar climbing level. We strive to ensure that you’ll have the same instructor for the entire term, which means the group really get to know each other and means that it’s a great way for kids to make new friends.
All essential kit is provided each week, but as your child moves up the ranks, you’ll need to look into buying them some climbing shoes (or you can hire them each week from reception). If you do have any questions or concerns, please do come in to have a chat, or email us at climb@yellowspiderclimbing.comÂ
Our NICAS and Termly Fun clubs session run every day of the week:
- After school and early evening on weekdays
