Our Youth Bouldering sessions are designed for young climbers aged 11–17 to have fun, build confidence and develop their climbing skills in a supportive environment.
There are three session levels – Bouldering, Progression and Advanced – giving young climbers a clear pathway from learning the fundamentals through to developing more advanced climbing skills and techniques.
Sessions are led by our experienced instructors and combine climbing, technique, movement and challenges appropriate to each level.
Not sure which session is right? New climbers should start with Youth Bouldering. Progression and Advanced sessions are for climbers with the appropriate experience and may require assessment by our coaching team.

Youth Bouldering is the starting point for young climbers with little or no previous indoor climbing experience.
These instructor-led sessions introduce the fundamentals of bouldering while developing movement, technique, confidence and an understanding of how to climb safely.
New climbers should start here.
Available as a single session or a 6-week block.
Youth Progression is the next step for climbers who have completed Youth Bouldering or have been assessed as ready to progress by our coaching team.
Sessions develop climbing technique, movement and problem-solving while working towards NICAS Bouldering Levels 1 and 2.
Youth Progression is not intended as an entry-level session, so climbers with little or no previous experience should start with Youth Bouldering.
Available as a single session or a 6-week block.
Youth Advanced is for experienced young climbers looking to take their climbing to the next level.
Sessions focus on more advanced climbing technique, movement, progression through climbing grades and injury prevention, while working towards NICAS Bouldering Level 3.
Climbers should have the appropriate experience before joining an Advanced session. If you’re unsure whether your young climber is ready, please speak to our coaching team before booking.
Available as a single session or a 6-week block.
Please arrive 10 minutes early – it takes a little time to check your paperwork and get your shoes fitted.
Getting here: We are easy to get to via car, train, or on foot. Find us on google maps Here
Parking: We have a small car park at the front of the centre, and a larger one at the rear of the building, accessed via Extract Coffee Roasters next door.
Please do not park on the road once you have passed our entrance.
What to wear: Wear loose comfortable clothing (what you would wear to the gym). It can be a little chilly in the winter, so make sure you have some warm clothes. However, you will warm up while climbing – wearing ‘layers’ that can be added or removed as required is ideal. Please bring some thin socks to wear with the climbing shoes.
Lockers: We have free to use lockers, which require your own padlocks (purchasable at reception). However we cannot take responsibility for your valuables, so ideally do not bring anything of significant value to the centre.
Café: We have a great café serving coffee, cake, sandwiches and soft drinks.
