Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions accordion
Equipment is provided during instructed sessions.
We don’t hire out lead climbing ropes. Please bring your own ‘Single’ rope or ‘Triple rated rope’. Half and Twin ropes are not used to lead climb in our centre.
The boulder cave and section of the roped wall will be reset once a month. This means there will always be new routes to climb.
Climbing is about being active and having fun, not how high you can climb. Try a Beginner Class with a trained instructor on hand to always assist you. You will never be made to climb higher than you are comfortable with.
