We are now a Learning Destination for The Children's University Learning Passports - Collect your learning credits at The Climbing Works
All sessions are run by our qualified instructors and each group will have no more then 5 - 6 climbers with an instructor. Each session will consist of an appropriate warm up and stretches followed by lots of climbing, challenges and games to suit all ages and abilities. Participants will be provided with climbing shoes and should be wearing loose fitting and comfortable clothing. A break is given at half time where climbers will be able to have a drink of water or squash. No fizzy drinks or sugary foods should be consumed whilst on the session.
