Bouldering is a form of free climbing that is performed on small rock formations or artificial rock walls without the use of ropes or harnesses. When you climb with us, our staff are available to instruct you how to fall correctly and manage risk and safety on and off the wall. Having an ability to assess for hazards and risk is also very important as there are inherent dangers in falling, even onto mats. We'll take you through the correct forms of falling and how to climb safely.

Top rope climbing (or top roping) is a style in climbing in which the climber is securely attached to a rope which then passes up, through an anchor system at the top of the climb, and down to a belayer at the foot of the climb. The belayer takes in slack rope throughout the climb, so that if at any point the climber were to lose their hold, they would not fall more than a short distance. All climbers and belayers must complete a top rope belay check before using our rope walls. Participants are assessed on their competence and risk management throughout the check and could be asked to repeat some steps.
