Rockhopper Clubs

Indoor climbing offers an exciting and adventurous sporting activity that dispels the myth that exercise is boring! Exhilarating, challenging and fun, Big Rock Climbing Centre’s Rockhopper sessions are the ideal way for children aged 7-16 to get involved with indoor climbing.

Young climbers can also work through the National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme (NICAS) during Rockhopper sessions. NICAS provides a logbook to record the skills learnt and the climbs undertaken, with certificates on completion of each level.

Rockhopper sessions operate every week and cater for children of all abilities including complete novices. Booking is essential and you can book online through the Big Rock website, or by phoning us on 01908 583128.
