Our youth climbing sessions are split into two groups:
Youth Climbing- Instructed coaching for children aged 13-17 years. These sessions are can help those without a junior sign off gain the climbing experience they need, or can be a great introduction for those without any experience.
Youth Social- Social climb for children aged 14-17 who have a junior sign off. These are more casual and are great to meet other like-minded individuals. These sessions are standard entry prices.
These are an introduction to climbing and provide a gateway to learning more and developing a love for the sport.
