SCHOOL & YOUTH GROUPS
We can run NICAS or one-off sessions for school and youth groups. The NICAS scheme can be used as part of a student’s GCSE qualification and, as climbing increases in popularity, we are seeing more and more school groups bringing their classes to climb.
BENEFITS OF CLIMBING
Climbing offers a unique combination of physical benefits, due to the coordination of multiple muscle groups that are used whilst climbing.
It also improves your problem-solving skills due to the planning that is involved & challenges that arise during the process of physically climbing.
In addition to this, evidence shows that climbing can help individuals with mental health conditions. Climbing involves concentration & thought which helps participants build focus, confidence & self-esteem, alleviating the symptoms of some mental health problems.

Highly recommend booking the adult beginners class for £20. Well worth the money if you are interested in starting a new hobby or just something to fill the evening with. I am terrified of heights but the instructor puts you at ease and puts time into talking through everything. We done 3 different routes on the climbing walls and we’re also given time bouldering. It was a lot of fun and will now be able to return without an instructor.

We went as a school trip with the children from year 6. It was well organised and the trip ran smoothly. They all had a great time and loved the activities. The comments from the children were: "the instructors were great and really friendly." "there was a range of climbing activities for those who were confident and those who didn't want to go too high." "It was great fun we had a great time."

I’d just like to start with what a centre, the walls a constantly changing and improving weekly. I am righting this review solely on the performance of a team member, I never managed to get this lovely lady’s name. Me and my friend are confident at bouldering but have only just began belaying so we haven’t much a clue compared to the staff (this was shown immediately). We have just purchased an assisted breaking belay and we’re confused and didn’t…

We had the family introduction session, which was excellent. I was really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I must admit I don’t have much to compare it with, but the feel of the building was light and airy, it was very clean and well maintained and had a great atmosphere. Our instructors were clearly knowledgeable and were very patient whist dealing with nervous climbers. The 90 minute session was enough time to try the three types of…
