If your kids have been wanting to give climbing a try (or are already trying it around the house!) then these sessions are the perfect introduction on how to do it safely. Our friendly, trained instructors have years of experience introducing kids and adults alike to the world of bouldering and roped climbing. They’ll make every child feel welcome and ensure they feel as confident and safe as possible throughout the day. You can meet our coaches here.
Highball Play
What it is: HighballPlay is a supervised climbing session aimed at younger climbers who just want to climb for fun. These are single ‘drop in’ sessions with no commitment or coaching – it’s all about time on the wall!

The session is lead by one of our trained instructors and is ideal for new and more experienced climbers alike.
