Children at The Climbing Works – Some guidelines

The Climbing Works is a brilliant place for kids to come and learn how to climb. As an activity, bouldering is a fantastic way of getting some exercise and having a great time, and our instructing staff are well trained in getting the best from children’s groups.

However, The Climbing Works has a number of basic guidelines for anybody who wants to bring children to climb on our walls. These are as follows…

• Children may climb at The Climbing Works under the supervision of their parents/guardians provided that the supervising adult is a competent climber and a registered member of The Climbing Works. If you wish to bring your children to climb you must either be an experienced climber, or you must have completed our induction session.

• Parents/guardians may only sign in 2 children per person. This is because we know how hard it is to keep your eyes on two children at a time, let alone any more!

• The Climbing Works staff reserves the right to limit the number of children climbing in the centre at busy times. If in doubt, try and avoid bringing small children at busy times (e.g. wet weekend afternoons, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings) or give us a ring before you leave home to check if we are too busy or not.

• Children aged under 14 years of age may not climb at The Climbing Works unsupervised at any time.

• Children between the ages of 14 and 18 years of age may climb unsupervised at The Climbing Works, providing that they have a Junior membership (requires written parental consent, and to have completed a safety assessment with a member of our staff.) Please ask our staff if you would like more information on junior membership.

• The Climbing Works has a family entry deal, so if you want to climb as a family please let our reception staff know and we can offer you a discounted rate on admission.

• The Climbing Works reserve the right to eject from our premises any customers whose behaviour jeopardises their safety or the safety of others. In the event this should ever be necessary, customers would not be entitled to any refund. Please, climb safely, and be aware of other climbers. Remember our motto: It’s nice to be nice!
