You don't need experience, you don't need kit, and we'll look after you from the moment you walk in. Hop on an Intro to Bouldering to get involved.
Everyone new to climbing starts with our Intro to Bouldering — 30 minutes with a coach who'll teach you the essentials of climbing safety and technique to get you going, so you can climb with confidence and know you’re in good hands.
Choose your date and time.
It only takes a minute.
Sign a 1-minute waiver online or at reception when you visit.
Rock up, check in, and we'll see you on the wall.
You'll start on the easiest problems and work up at your own pace. Bouldering is short climbs over thick mats — no ropes, no harnesses, no equipment to wrangle.
Intro sessions aren't just for first-timers. Haven't climbed in a while? Jump in for a solid refresher, plus a free week of gym and climbing to get you back into it, and a few new faces to climb alongside from day 1.
None at all. If you've never climbed, you'll start with our £20 Intro to Bouldering — 30 minutes of coaching that includes shoe hire and 7 days of unlimited climbing. If you've bouldered before, just register online and turn up.
For the Intro to Bouldering, yes — book online. Experienced climbers can just walk in, though registering online first saves time at the desk.
Bouldering is a sport for everyone, regardless of fitness levels. Our easiest problems are designed for complete novices, and you'll progress faster than you expect. Strength can help, but technique matters more — that's what the intro is for.
Anything you can stretch in — leggings, joggers, a t-shirt — plus a water bottle. Climbing shoes and chalk are included; no other kit needed.
You're in good company — plenty of climbers are. Bouldering walls are short (around 4 metres) and the safety matting assures a soft landing if you do fall.
Adults of any age. Children climb from age 5 — see the family section below.
Coaching, shoe hire and 7 days unlimited climbing. No experience needed.
