Our adult coaching pathway has been carefully created to help climbers progress from complete beginner to advanced movement and technique. You do not need to attend every class, but the sessions are designed to build on one another, meaning you will gain the most benefit by following the full pathway.
Most climbers realise that even experienced boulderers can struggle with the basic building blocks of movement and technique. Our coaching sessions focus on developing strong foundations that improve climbing ability, confidence and overall performance on the wall.
If you are unsure which class is right for you, please contact our friendly team today for advice!
Our Starter Plus course offers the perfect introduction for newcomers, providing a comprehensive two-hour class in a small group setting of up to eight people.
During the course, you’ll receive expert instruction aimed at building a solid foundation of technique and efficiency in climbing. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, our course is designed to help you progress confidently and make the most out of your time at the centre.
Bouldering is a fun, full-body activity that strengthens the entire body. It also improved flexibility, coordination and balance for a complete workout.
Designed to encourage focus and mindfulness, bouldering is known to help many climbers switch off from everyday stress, significantly improving mental wellbeing.
