Kids taster sessions

Kids climbing clubs and NICAS

Kids clubs / NICAS

Weekly structured climbing clubs following the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (‘NICAS’) at a ratio of just 1:6.

Together with the social aspect of club climbing these sessions can really bring out the best in your kids.

Indy Kids (ages 7-11) and Indy Squad (ages 11+). £119 per 7-week block (£17 per session). £20 deposit to book.

What to Expect

All kids’ sessions are led by our fully qualified and very experienced instructors who will deliver a bespoke climbing experience based on individual and group ability levels. Safety is taken very seriously but risk cannot be completely removed. See participation statement.

We’ll fit your child with climbing shoes, a harness and helmet when needed. Everything is included in the session price.

Safety Prep

Your instructor will run through the safety rules and warm everyone up with some easy climbing games.

Climb and Play

Time on the wall! Your instructor will maximise climbing time, guiding the group through bouldering, top-rope and auto-belays and spending more time on the aspects the group enjoys.

Wrap Up

Session done. Grab a drink and snack from the cafe for a refuel, chat about the best bits and watch other climbers from the comfort of your seat.

Our kids taster was the perfect rainy day activity. The instructor was fantastic with the children and they were climbing confidently within minutes.

Booked my teenagers in as a treat whilst on holiday in Anglesey. They had an amazing instructor who took the time to demonstrate and talk through correct technique. The place felt like it is more for real climbing enthusiasts. Also, they sell amazing coffee!

We booked our grandkids in for a beginner session. They loved it and were clambering up the walls under expert supervision. Great value for money, plus the coffee was fabulous. The kids seem to have found a new and exciting hobby.

This place was amazing. The staff were super friendly and accommodating as we turned up at the busiest time with no booking. Managed to get a climbing guide for our kids and they had the best time. Well worth a visit.

Comfortable clothes they can stretch in. Avoid anything too baggy, and avoid crop tops as they can make harnesses less comfortable (an extra layer will help with this).
