Competent climber?
If you’re an experienced climber or you’ve visited a couple of other indoor walls, you will need to complete our Registration process before you can climb.
See the section below for more details of what is needed, depending on the type of climbing you want to do.
You will need to allow some extra time to complete this on your first visit to us.
Not climbed before?
We would suggest that you try one of our Beginner’s Taster Sessions.
We will take you through the Registration process and give you an introduction to our climbing centre.
You can learn the basic skills needed to be able to come again as an unsupervised climber.
