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.
