Indoor Climbing Wall

Indoor climbing walls provide an ideal venue to give the sport a try. They provide a safe yet exciting environment to experience the thrills of climbing. Booking in with an indoor climbing wall for a taster session is an ideal way to see if this sport is for you.

Youth Climbing Clubs

Youth climbing clubs provide the ideal environment for young people to experience climbing. From weekly indoor climbing sessions, weekend trips outside to trips to foreign climbing destinations. These clubs foster the development of climbing skills and techniques and allow young people to become more self-reliant and informed. They also give young people a sense of belonging in a community of like minded people that come together to enjoy climbing.

Age And Fitness Level

Kids can start climbing from almost any age, but typically four to five years of age can be considered a good age from when to start climbing.
