First time? Youth & families

Before you book

Getting started

All children and adults new to climbing and our centre should start by booking a First Time Climb. Alternatively, book a Private Coaching session for a more in-depth instructed introduction with one of our experienced instructors.

Instructed sessions

We run a range of instructed sessions for youth: Private Coaching for groups of up to four; Bouldering Foundations (age 7–11), a five-week programme that gives young climbers a solid grounding; the Youth Boulderers Award (age 12–15), a four-week-plus programme that lets 12–15s climb unsupervised with parental permission; and Youth Academies, Development and Performance squads (by waiting list and selection).
