Learn to Climb Lessons for Beginners:  

Our 2-Part Learn to Climb lessons happen once a month, for adults and teens wanting to learn the basic climbing and belaying skills (the art of safely controlling your partner's rope). The small group lessons are run by a qualified instructor. The lesson run alongside our 'Open Climbing Club' to give participants an idea of how they can access climbing walls following the lessons. 

Climbing is a social sport and a great place to meet others. It is an all-body work out set at your own pace, and helps to improve flexibility and strength. Great for the mind, as you problem solve your way up those tricky routes. Best of all, climbing gives us the opportunity to switch off and climb on!
