New to Climbing? You’re in the Right Place.
What You Need to Know Before Using our Bouldering Gym
You don’t need experience — just a bit of curiosity. Bouldering is a fun, accessible style of climbing where you follow difficulty graded routes up a specially designed wall. No ropes, no harness — just you, the holds, and soft matting below to catch you if you fall.
Anyone aged 5 and up can give it a go (Supervisor rules apply). Routes are set at different difficulty levels, so whether you’re a total beginner or feeling adventurous, there’s always something to try!
Whether you’ve bouldered before or not, you can just turn up! There’s no need to book unless you want to book a session with one of our instructors or coaches. You’ll need to register with us (which you can do online to save time when you arrive) and then we’ll ask you a few short safety questions or ask you to watch a bouldering safety video if you’re new to climbing.

If you haven’t climbed before and want a little extra help getting started – don’t worry! We offer adult intro sessions and family/junior tasters, we’ll get you safely scaling our walls in no time.
