If you are new to bouldering, you’ll need to complete a 1 hour First Visit Induction. This is the first stage of your journey in learning to climb. We will show you how it all works and upon completion, you will be able to register for unsupervised climbing in public times. To book on please look below.
If you just intend on bringing the kids for a climb, you will still need to participate in an adult induction, this can be on one of our set induction times below or you can book a family induction below. (if you do not wish to climb, check our junior page more info on instructor led sessions).
Please note we will need to book instructors for family inductions, please allow 2-3 days for a response.

F.A.Q’s
A: Yes, our centre is very different to a Clip ‘n’ Climb centre and requires different safety knowledge.
A: Any sort of comfortable gym or sportswear is ideal, something that you can move around in freely.
A: Outdoor footwear is not permitted on the climbing surface. This is for hygiene reasons as you use the same holds for your hands and feet and we don’t want outside dirt from your shoes getting on the climbing holds. You will also have a better experience as climbing shoes are specially designed for climbing with a sticky rubber sole to make climbing easier.
A: There are plenty of storage boxes to leave your bags in within the main climbing centre. Valuables are left at your own risk.
A: No, not at all. Climbing is a perfect way to start getting active and get into shape if that’s what you’re after. It is a great all body work out and it is also a mentally challenging activity where you will have to ‘problem solve’ how best to get to the top of the climb. It is also a great way to take your mind off any other stresses you might have in your life as it is a very absorbing activity which requires a lot of concentration.
A: We can contact your parent or guardian on the day you register for verbal consent or you can ask them to email us to request a junior registration form and they can give written consent for you to climb unsupervised. Email info@boulderuk.co.uk to obtain the form.
A: Our inductions have 4 spaces, but if you’d prefer a private session for just yourself or a bunch of friends, email us to arrange a booking.
A: There are no age restrictions with bouldering and we have people of all ages from 6 to 60 plus just starting out and enjoying the challenge and movement of climbing.
