Indoor climbing: FAQs

    • I'm a total beginner, which session is best for me?

      We'd love to get you started! The "6-week climbing course" is the best way to learn the skills properly. If you just want to give it a try, our "Instructed Climbing Sessions" are the perfect one-off taster.

    • What is the minimum age for climbing?

      Our "6-week climbing courses" are available for children starting from age 4. Our NICAS after-school clubs are designed for ages 7 and up.

    • What is NICAS?

      NICAS is the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme. It's a fun, nationally recognised program (like swimming badges) that teaches climbing skills and safety. Our after-school clubs and adult courses are built around it.

    • Do you offer children's climbing parties?

      Yes! Our climbing parties are hugely popular. They include 90 minutes of climbing with our instructors and all the safety equipment. You can find more details and book on our "Parties" page.
