This course runs on a Monday and Wednesday evening from 7.30-9.30pm and is specifically designed to give complete newcomers and novices to the sport of indoor rock climbing the skills and confidence to continue climbing at the Rockface by themselves.

This course is designed for those who don’t have a partner to start learning with; maybe you are new to the area or your friends don’t share your sense of adventure!! You will be placed in a group of up to 4 people so you get personal attention to maximise the learning potential.

We normally recommend attending a minimum of 4 sessions.

The course covers the following areas:

• Personal safety
• Use of Equipment
• Knots for climbing
• Belaying skills
• Climbing skills
• Communication skills
• How to improve faster
• Final personal competence test

Climb On! Details

Only £25 per person per session. Like all courses at the Rockface, Europe's Premier Indoor Climbing Centre, we believe in making life easy for you. This course runs on a Monday and Wednesday evening from 7.30-9.30pm. This is personal instruction at its best and is designed around you and your climbing partner's specific needs. You are not in a large impersonal group. This means you learn a lot quicker but at your own pace. All the necessary climbing and safety equipment is included. Simply book in advance. Arrive 15 minutes before the start time and wear loose clothing and training shoes.
