Your own climbing shoes or clean indoor trainers and chalk, if you have them, or you can hire footwear at Rocks and Wheels if required. It’s £12 per session to climb with us, by the way, with coaching available as an add-on. We have a cracking café on-site, in case you feel thirsty or work up an appetite and a changing room with lockers for personal items. There’s also a water fountain for refills, so bring your water bottles.

You’ll be required to accept our policies, watch a safety video, and you will be asked to complete a short competency check before you boulder.

Bringing Kids?

Under 16s must be supervised when bouldering. Unsupervised bouldering is available to those aged 18+, or for 16-17s who can prove their age with ID or be verified by an adult. Without this entry cannot be granted.
Please note, we operate a strict 1:2 adult to child ratio.

This is a short safety introduction for those getting started with indoor bouldering, produced by The Association of British Climbing Walls.

That’s right, our bouldering wall can be booked for exclusive events and celebrations. It’s a memorable venue for an exciting party which will challenge mind and body. Our café can also keep your guests fuelled up for the fun. To find out more, please get in touch.
