Introduction
Safety is paramount when climbing and everyone, regardless of experience, must go through a basic induction and registration, before climbing.
Every climber will become a Free Boathouse Member upon signing the relevant consent forms and must agree to follow the rules of the Boathouse Climbing Centre. A copy of these can be found by clicking on our Terms and Conditions below.
Anyone aged under 18 years old with limited or no climbing experience must be signed in and accompanied by a supervising adult when paying for public entry. We do operate a specialist system for experienced under 18 climbers who can attend unaccompanied. This is subject to meeting certain criteria, for more information please contact us directly.
For anyone with limited or no climbing experience it is advised to either come along with someone who has climbed before and they can sign you in, or you can book onto one of our instructor led sessions and we can introduce you to climbing and the best way to progress. Onwards and Upwards!
