How To Come Climbing
Personal health
This may go without saying but please take a moment to really consider your own health before visiting. If you have recently tested positive or have any of the COVID-19 symptoms identified here on the government website then please ensure you have fully followed the appropriate guidelines for self-isolation.
We ask that everyone who enters the centre uses our infrared thermometer placed on the wall next to the membership card scanner upon entry.
Come down for a climb!
You no longer have to book to climb, just come down for a climb whenever you like (like the good old days!) There may sometimes be a queue at our peak times (Mon – Thurs 6-8pm) but if that’s the case, it won’t take long to get in. You might just want to check our real-time climber counter at the top of this page before you come down.
*Remember: If you walk or cycle down you get a free cuppa on us!*
Don’t have a membership?
You could also buy a Membership (direct debit or single month) or a Punch Card (pre-paid bundles of individual entries). Now available in bundles of 10, 5 or 1 (a single punch card entry).
Changing & Showers
We have small changing rooms, so please try to arrive in the clothes you’d like to climb in. If you would like to change then please use either the changing room or showers whilst taking care to maintain social distancing.
The showers will be open as usual and cleaned regularly. If you can wait to shower at home then great, but we’re more than happy for you to freshen up with us too.
Please note: You will still be able to hire shoes with us on your visit.
Face Coverings
You no longer have to wear a face mask whilst in the centre. We do recommend that you do, particularly when in close contact with others. We will be encouraging our staff to wear masks when in close proximity with other staff members and customers. PLEASE ask us to wear a mask if you would like us to!
Hand washing and sanitisation
We encourage all of our visitors to regularly clean their hands whilst in the centre. Particularly upon entry and before and after any breaks between climbing. We have hand gel dispensers placed across the centre, or alternatively you can use our bathroom sinks with soap.
Liquid chalk Liquid Chalk with a 70% or higher alcohol content is for sale in the shop. We strongly recommend you use this regularly throughout your climbing. More information on this is available in the shop.
Taking breaks
Bouldering is a strength-based activity and we know this means we need to take breaks. We have an awesome café full of tasty hot and cold drinks and food, including freshly made rustic pizzas and ice cold milkshakes! Come and find us at the cafe counter. Remember to wash your hands before and after you take a break with one of our handy cleaning stations placed around the centre.
