Our youth climbing club takes complete novices and teaches them everything from the basics of the sport, through to making them independent climbers. We provide a safe, fun environment for all levels of young climber from 7-18 split into two age groups. Barnacles for the 7-10 year olds and Limpets for 10-18 year olds. For each age group we run introductory courses giving them a taste of the sport as well as instruction in the safety techniques and procedures needed.
Individuals can then join the regular club sessions where they will get lots of climbing as well as further instruction on climbing technique and the safety systems used. The Limpets club follows the new National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme (NICAS) with club members working towards the five levels of certification as part of the club sessions. As well as the regular club sessions we also run trips to other walls and real rock and have had several club members doing well at local, regional and even national competitions.
7-10 year olds
Introductory courses
Each course will give the participants a chance to do plenty of climbing as well as learn the basics of how to belay (hold the rope) for each other. Over the three weeks the course members will progress from the ‘easy’ 6m high novice walls to our larger and more challenging walls. They will have the opportunity to play a variety of climbing games and have a go on our bouldering wall. They will also be taught the important safety procedures needed to make climbing a safe and enjoyable sport.
