Adult Induction
This is the session for all those who are 18 or over with no experience of bouldering who wish to come and use The Climbing Works unsupervised. The course consists of one and a half hours tuition with one of our qualified instructors, and focuses on how to use the climbing walls safely. This course is obligatory if you would like to use The Climbing Works but have never climbed before. Once you have done this session, you are free to use the centre when ever you like unsupervised, and can also sign in and supervise other climbers.

Cost is just your normal entrance fee. No extra cost for the actual session.
Supervised by our qualified instructors, the adult improver sessions are for climbers looking to improve and meet new people to climb with.
It's all about enjoyment and learning new techniques with the help of a Climbing Works instructor. Just turn up on the night, no need for prior booking. It's been both very popular and very successful, with many regulars seeing their climbing grade shoot up. If you're new to climbing or stuck around the Font 5 grade, then this is the session for you.
