The junior open climbing session times run on Saturdays 16.30 to 18.00

Ages 5 to 17 years.

These sessions are supervised by our national qualified staff.
Young people can come and practice their skills from courses they have attended or come along and try climbing for the first time. Climbing is great for 

We have a bouldering wall, auto-belay walls, roped walls and lead walls. The climbers will be lead around the centre to the different walls to climb according to their preferance. Those that come together will be kept together but may be grouped with others. Those that come alone will be grouped with others to climb with. 
NICAS 2 holders and above please ask your LGF instructor for competent climber code.

Climbing equipment is all provided in the session. Any climbing equipment brought onsite (helmets, carbineers, harness, belay devices) must be checked by an instructor before being used. If the equipment is deemed unfit for use we will only allow the use of our centre kit.
These sessions are supervised by our national qualified staff. Instructors and staff are not able to offer individual climbing training during these sessions for climbing courses.
Responsible guardians can stay and watch from the gallery above for those 8 and above. 5 to 7 year olds must have an adult with them on the mat for the duration of the session.

NOTE - GCSE climbing evidence cannot be recorded as photos or filmed during these junior open sessions. Filming sessions can be booked privatly where a member of staff will take them through filming all needed footage (We know the criteria and evidence needed for AQA, Edexcell and OCR GCSE PE: Rock Climbing).  These private sessions can have up to 4 climbers. The climber should at least be to the pass standard of NICAS Level 1 before filming, ideally they should be working towards at a NICAS Level 3 or beyond. For more information please contact the centre, speak to an instructor or look at our NICAS courses where we teach climbing through an NGB award scheme.
