Dispel the myth that exercise is boring! Indoor climbing at Big Rock is exhilarating, challenging and fun! Exercise your body, exercise your brain, meet new friends… indoor climbing rocks!
If you're aged 15-19 you can get involved by joining 15-19 Climbing Sessions at Big Rock! All abilities are welcome from experienced climbers to complete beginners. If you've never climbed before, you don't need any previous climbing experience or any specialist clothing or equipment to get started.
15-19 Training runs every Monday and Thursday evening. During these sessions, beginners and less experienced climbers will be taught the fundamentals of climbing and will work towards being signed off as competent unsupervised climbers. These instructed sessions will be continually assessed with participants having to take part in at least 4 sessions and be over 16 prior to being considered for unsupervised climbing.
More experienced climbers who have already been signed off as unsupervised members of Big Rock will be able to climb together in a really sociable environment with other youngsters during 15-19 Social Climbing Sessions, run at the same times as 15-19 Training. Climbing with others is a great way to evolve and improve your overall climbing ability and meet new friends and climbing partners!
Those over 16 looking to learn more rapidly are welcome to sign up to one of our Student Beginner Climbing Courses on Wednesdays These offer 2x 3 hour sessions for only £30 and are designed to give you the skills, experience and confidence to use the climbing wall safely and unsupervised (please note: completion of this course does not guarantee a young climber will be signed off as suitable for unsupervised climbing). Check availability and the latest dates here.
Prior to attending any 15-19 Climbing Session, young climbers must complete a 15-19 Parental Consent Form signed by their parent or guardian.
