Climbing inductions are ideal for those who want to gain the skills needed to climb independently. The session covers all the necessary techniques, from harnessing to belaying, giving you the confidence to explore climbing without an instructor. Once completed, you can register as a member and enjoy full access to the climbing centre.
During the session, you’ll learn the basics of climbing, including how to fit a harness, tie safety knots, and belay. The induction also covers the use of the autobelay system for solo climbing. By the end of the session, you’ll have the skills to climb safely and independently, and you’ll be able to use the centre's facilities without needing an instructor.
We also offer additional options for those who are interested in bouldering or for parents who wish to learn how to supervise and belay their children.

The indoor climbing wall and the dedicated bouldering cave are designed for both beginners and experienced climbers, with a focus on safety and enjoyment.
