About the class

Coached term-time sessions that teach harness fitting, belaying, grades, climbing movement and bouldering safety, with training and competition technique and climbing games. Children must have climbed at the centre once before, and parents of under-12s stay to hold their child's rope.

As The Climbing Centre lists it. Times and prices change, so check with the wall before you book. Something wrong? Let us know.
