FAQs
If you are new to climbing or want to try out a different style, you will need to book a session with one of our awesome instructors.
All inductions need to be pre-booked before you visit our centre.
Experienced Climber We require all climbers to have completed a Bouldering Induction before climbing independently in our centre. This is to ensure that everyone has received a safety briefing for the Bouldering floors, the general safety of the centre and to point out the possible hazards which may be found in our venue. The induction lasts roughly 30 minutes and we may need to get an updated waiver form filled out following the session. Waiver forms are now an annual requirement. This is in line with G.D.P.R.
If you plan to use the roped area, this will consist of a quick belay test at reception area following the Bouldering Induction.
We strongly recommend pre booking the Bouldering Induction to ensure that we have an instructor available for when you plan to arrive and to avoid a wait time. Give us a call on 01 8800088 to organise this induction for a time that suits you best!

Sportswear or any clothing you can move around and breathe comfortably in is ideal. Wearing layers can help to keep you warm before getting stuck in and for when you start cooling down.
Trainers or rock shoes are the most suitable footwear for climbing. You can hire rock shoes at any of our centres and you may want to invest in a pair of your own as you progress.
